The US Senate has blocked a move to direct the removal of US Armed Forces from unauthorized hostilities within or against Venezuela - a bipartisan resolution presented on Thursday afternoon failing to be passed on the Senate floor.

A vote was held to discharge Resolution S.J.Res.90, the Venezuela Hostilities Removal Resolution, a resolution sponsored by Democrats Tim Kaine and Adam Schiff and Republican senator Rand Paul on October 16.

It aimed to invoke the 1973 War Powers Resolution which asserts that US military action should be approved by US Congress.
