3 OUTLETS
Kaine, Schumer and Paul File Venezuela War Powers Resolution

Coverage centers on Tim Kaine’s effort to use a resolution to restrict potential U.S. military action in Venezuela. The articles also describe the measure as bringing Congress into decisions about such action. Right-leaning outlets present the resolution as a way to limit military action and involve Congress; they differ in emphasis, from Kaine’s prediction of Republican support to plans to introduce the measure and a report that it was filed.
