[Article] from the September 2025 Issue

The Decisive Moment

by Chris Lehmann

On January 3, following months of lethal attacks on alleged drug-carrying boats and the seizure of Venezuelan oil tankers, Donald Trump stated that the president of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, had been captured in Caracas and taken to New York to face drugs and weapons charges. Trump announced that the United States intends to “run” Venezuela, with the goal of reclaiming access to oil rights. Done without congressional approval, many Democratic lawmakers are protesting the legality of the military intervention.

In the September 2025 issue, in response to Trump’s bombing of Iran in June, Chris Lehmann argued that Congress must impeach the president. “Trump’s bombing campaign significantly dialed up the unaccountable military prerogatives of the American presidency,” Lehmann wrote. “Even slapdash interventions such as George W. Bush’s 2003 invasion of Iraq depended on at least appearing to court congressional consent.”
