Trump's Actions in Venezuela were ILLEGAL!!! | Lichtman Live #194

Several days after the U.S. military captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, new reporting and legal analysis are raising a far more serious question: Were President Trump’s actions illegal?In this livestream, historian Dr. Allan Lichtman and Sam Lichtman break down what we now know about the U.S. operation in Venezuela — and why constitutional scholars, lawmakers, and international law experts say the Trump administration may have crossed clear legal lines.We examine whether Trump had the authority to order strikes and a capture operation without congressional approval, how the War Powers Resolution applies, and what international law says about seizing a foreign head of state. We also explore how the administration’s shifting explanations mirror past efforts to retroactively justify controversial military actions.This isn’t about partisan spin or breaking headlines — it’s about law, precedent, and accountability.📍 Stay with us for live updates, expert historical context, and breaking analysis as this story continues to evolve.💬 Join the discussion in chat⭐ Consider becoming a channel member to support independent historical analysis🔔 Subscribe for more sharp insights on politics and history!📅 Join us LIVE Tuesdays and Thursdays at 9 PM Eastern!https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyQx8dGfgcQ4WUhrKP0ORlQ/join📚 Order Conservative at the Core here: https://undpress.nd.edu/9780268210304/conservative-at-the-core/👕🫏Check out Dr. Lichtman’s Merch Shop!🐘🧢 https://allan-lichtman.printify.me/Find all of our links here! 🔗https://linktr.ee/allanlichtman#venezuela #maduro #Trump #BreakingNews #globalnews
