To prohibit the use of funds to use military force in or against Venezuela, and for other purposes.

# Summary of HR 6915 **What the Bill Would Do** HR 6915 would prevent the federal government from spending money on military operations against Venezuela. Essentially, it would block the U.S. military from taking combat action in or against that country without Congress first passing separate legislation to authorize it. The bill is sponsored by Rep.

Seth Moulton (D-MA) and currently sits in committee, meaning it hasn't advanced to a full House vote yet. **Who It Affects and Current Status** This bill would affect the executive branch (particularly the Department of Defense), Congress, and U.S.-Venezuela relations. It reflects concerns that military action might occur without proper congressional approval. Since the bill is "in committee," it's still in an early stage of the legislative process and would need committee approval, then a House vote, Senate passage, and presidential signature to become law. There's no indication of when or if it will advance further.
