.... I'm now not sure if this vote was from the first time he introduced it and it gets another vote or not. The web portal is a bit confusing and the date of introduction was 10/16.

It received two gop votes, Rand Paul and Murkowski. I guess if it gets introduced again and gets one more it goes to the house. But the parliamentary proceedings are not clear to me.

This link displays the text, not just the title: https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/senate-joint-resolution/90/text

SEC. 2. Termination of the use of United States forces for hostilities within or against Venezuela.

(a) Termination.—Pursuant to section 1013 of the Department of State Authorization Act, Fiscal Years 1984 and 1985 (50 U.S.C. 1546a), and in accordance with the provisions of section 601(b) of the International Security Assistance and Arms Export Control Act of 1976, Congress hereby directs the President to terminate the use of United States Armed Forces for hostilities within or against Venezuela, unless explicitly authorized by a declaration of war or specific authorization for use of military force.


As a joint resolution, it would have the force of law if passed and signed.
