Jan. 8 (UPI) -- The U.S. Senate is expected to vote Thursday on a war powers resolution that would limit the president's ability to strike countries unilaterally.
Similar bills in the House and Senate have failed twice already, though narrowly. The vote is expected late Thursday morning.
The move comes in the wake of the operation in Venezuela, which deposed President Nicolas Maduro on Saturday. U.S. troops said they captured Maduro and his wife and took them to Manhattan to face drug trafficking and weapons charges. They have pleaded not guilty.
The raid was a surprise to Congress.
