Republican Senators Josh Hawley of Missouri and Todd Young of Indiana were hit with some backlash on Wednesday evening for flipping on a previous vote and ultimately ending the war powers resolution aimed at curbing President Donald Trump's authority.

Earlier this month the Senate initially advanced a resolution designed to curtail President Trump's ability to initiate new military actions in Venezuela without congressional consent. The procedural vote passed 52-47, with five Republican senators—Rand Paul of Kentucky, Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Hawley, and Young—siding with Democrats.

The VoteVets X account also posted, "Pathetic collapse by @HawleyMO and @SenToddYoung. They talked tough on war powers last week but folded the second the pressure turned up. They’ve officially surrendered their Congressional authority to the White House. Rubber stamps, not Senators."
