STEPHANOPOULOS: So, what can the Congress do about it is the next question.

SCHUMER: Well, the next question is very simple, and that is that we have the War Powers Act. That‘s a privilege resolution, which means the Republicans can‘t block it.

Tim Kaine and I and Rand Paul are sponsors of it. It‘s going to come to the floor this week. And if it is voted for, if it‘s voted positively in both houses, then the president can‘t do another thing in Venezuela without the OK of Congress. We have to pass it.
