The Spin

House Republicans rightfully defended presidential authority by defeating a misguided resolution that would have hamstrung the commander in chief's ability to protect national security and stop drug trafficking. The successful capture of Maduro represents one of the most effective law enforcement operations in history, bringing a narco-trafficking dictator to justice without boots on the ground in Venezuela.

Republicans shamefully voted to give unchecked war powers to a president who launched an unauthorized strike without congressional approval and can't explain what comes next. Holding a vote open for half an hour to fly in a member from Texas just to end in a tie shows how uncomfortable this vote was for the GOP, exposing their willingness to abandon constitutional checks on executive power.
