There are some who will say we should not have a debate in Congress over the use of force in Venezuela, instead we should wait and see what the President decides to do before we even have a conversation about the use of force. I must respectfully disagree.
Engel argues for congressional debate on military action in Venezuela against the notion of deferring to the President.

I urge all Members to join me today in supporting this important resolution, H. Res. 1062, and I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the gentleman from New York (Mr. Engel)…
I know Mr. Meeks very well and I know that he will do an excellent job--an excellent job--as chairman.
We will continue to call out and hold accountable those who undermine the Dayton Peace Agreement or threaten the country's sovereignty, territorial integrity, and multi-ethnic character.
H. Res. 697 is a strong measure that encourages the continuation of close engagement between the United States and Tibet. I therefore urge Members to support it, and I reserve the balance of my time.
