The US Senate seeks to halt new military actions in Venezuela without congressional approval

 

An influential Democratic lawmaker reignited controversy by suggesting that his party could attempt to remove President Donald Trump from office should they regain control of the House of Representatives in the November midterm elections. The statements have reignited a climate of political confrontation that already dominates much of the public debate in the United States.

Representative Jason Crow of Colorado, a prominent figure within the Democratic bloc and identified by some critics as one of the so-called "Seditious Six," issued the warning during an interview with CNN. In that interview, Crow not only hinted at the possibility of a new impeachment process but also generated controversy by suggesting that the U.S. military should disobey the President in his capacity as commander-in-chief, a position he had recently expressed in a video posted on social media.

The congressman's words provoked immediate reactions both inside and outside the Capitol. For Republicans, it is further proof that the opposition is seeking to use impeachment as a political tool, while for some analysts it represents a sign of the extent to which polarization has reached levels that strain basic principles of the American institutional system, in which Democrats are desperately seeking a position of power that has been denied them by the citizens.

The suggestion that the armed forces ignore presidential orders was particularly criticized by constitutional law experts and former military officials, who warned that such messages can undermine the chain of command and weaken democratic stability. Within Republican circles, the statements were labeled irresponsible and dangerous.

Although there is currently no formal impeachment process underway, Crow's comments suggest that if the balance of power in Congress shifts after the November elections, the scenario of a new institutional confrontation between the White House and Congress could resurface, further deepening the already marked political divide in the country.
