🔥 IMPEACHABLE: Trump Secretly Bombed Venezuela for Months — Congress Never Approved ItA legal bombshell is exploding in Washington — and it changes everything. A U.S. legal expert is now laying out why Donald Trump’s military action against Venezuela isn’t just reckless foreign policy, but a clear violation of U.S. law. And one buried fact completely destroys the administration’s defense: The bombing didn’t start recently. It started months ago — in September. That single detail detonates Trump’s legal argument. Here’s why it matters. Under the War Powers Resolution of 1973, the law is crystal clear: If a president sends U.S. forces into hostilities without a formal declaration of war or explicit approval from Congress, the clock starts ticking. The president has 60 days. No approval? The military action must stop. No loopholes. No resets. No excuses. Public reporting confirms that U.S. forces began bombing Venezuelan-linked boats as far back as September, using American military force in the Caribbean. That legally qualifies as hostilities. Congress never declared war. Congress never authorized the strikes. And Congress was never asked to approve them within the 60-day deadline. Which means the legal clock started in September. And it expired months ago. “That’s the part people are missing,” said attorney Joe Gallina, who has training in international and cross-border criminal law. “Once U.S. bombs were used in September, the War Powers Resolution was triggered. Everything after that runs on the same clock — and that clock is long dead.” This is not a gray area. This is not a policy debate. Legal scholars are now saying the quiet part out loud: continuing military operations after the War Powers deadline — without congressional authorization — is unlawful and impeachable. The law was written after Vietnam to stop presidents from doing exactly this.

IMPEACHABLE: Trump Secretly Bombed Venezuela for Months — Congress Never Approved It
A stunning legal reality is now coming into focus — and it undercuts everything the Trump administration is claiming about Venezuela.

According to legal experts, Donald Trump did not merely authorize a controversial military strike. He quietly carried out months of U.S. military action against Venezuela without Congress — in direct violation of U.S. law.
And that makes it impeachable.
The most damning detail?
The bombing didn’t just begin. It began months ago — in September.

That single fact collapses the administration’s entire legal defense.
The Law Is Clear — And It Was Broken
Under the War Powers Resolution of 1973, presidents do not have unlimited authority to wage war. The law was passed after Vietnam to prevent secret, open-ended military conflicts carried out without congressional oversight.
The rule is simple:

If a president introduces U.S. armed forces into hostilities without a declaration of war or specific authorization from Congress, the president has 60 days to obtain approval.
If Congress does not approve, the military action must stop.
There are no loopholes.
There is no reset.
And “ongoing operations” do not restart the clock.
The Clock Started in September — And Ran Out Long Ago
Public reporting shows that U.S. forces began bombing Venezuelan-linked boats in the Caribbean as early as September, using American military force abroad.
That action meets the legal definition of hostilities under the War Powers Resolution.

Congress did not declare war.
Congress did not authorize the strikes.
And Congress was never asked to approve them within the 60-day window.
That means the legal clock started ticking in September.
It expired months ago.
“That’s the part people are missing,” said Joe Gallina, an attorney with training in international and cross-border criminal law.
“Once U.S. bombs were used in September, the War Powers Resolution was triggered. Everything that followed runs on the same clock — and that clock is long expired.”
This Isn’t Policy Disagreement — It’s Illegal
Legal scholars stress that this is not a debate about strategy or foreign policy judgment. Continuing military operations after the War Powers deadline — without congressional authorization — is unlawful.
Knowingly doing so elevates the conduct from controversial to unconstitutional.
“This is exactly the kind of abuse of power the impeachment clause exists to address,” Gallina said.
“Defying Congress on matters of war is not something the Constitution allows.”
The War Powers Resolution was written precisely to stop presidents from dragging the country into prolonged military conflicts behind closed doors. What is alleged here is a textbook violation.

Why Congress Hasn’t Acted
Under normal circumstances, such a violation would trigger immediate hearings, subpoenas, and potential impeachment proceedings.
But these are not normal circumstances.
With Republicans obstructing oversight, blocking investigations, and shielding executive misconduct, Congress’s ability to enforce accountability has been effectively frozen.
The law exists.
The evidence exists.
But enforcement has stalled.
That Leaves One Remaining Check
If Congress will not act, the Constitution leaves one final mechanism for accountability:
The voters.
The midterms are no longer just about policy differences. They are about whether presidents are allowed to ignore the law on matters of war — or whether constitutional limits still mean something.

Joe Gallina, publisher of Call to Activism, has been tracking executive overreach tied to the Venezuela operation and warns that the precedent being set is dangerous.
“When presidents learn they can bomb first and explain later — or never — democracy erodes fast,” Gallina said.
The Bottom Line
This story is not about partisan politics.
It is about unchecked executive power.
It is about secret military action.
And it is about a president allegedly defying the law meant to stop exactly this behavior.

The War Powers clock ran out months ago.
What happens next will define whether the law still applies — even to the most powerful office in the country.
