The Senate rejected a measure that would have required President Trump to seek congressional approval before authorizing further U.S. military action in the Caribbean

The Senate's recent rejection of a measure requiring President Trump to seek congressional approval for military actions in the Caribbean raises concerns about unchecked executive power. This decision comes amid ongoing U.S. military operations targeting vessels suspected of drug smuggling. The implications of this move are significant, as it could lead to increased military engagement without legislative oversight, sparking debates about the balance of power in U.S. governance.
