Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., revealed on Sunday he is going to refile a war powers resolution that would require congressional approval for any possible military action taken against Venezuela.

“I will move with colleagues, Senator Schumer, Senator Paul, Senator Schiff, immediately should there be military action,” Kaine said  on CBS News’s “Face the Nation," referring to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., as well as Sens. Rand Paul, R-Ky., and Adam Schiff, D-Calif.

Kaine said the prior version of the resolution “failed, but that was before all of these assets have amassed around Venezuela, and before President Trump said that the airspace needs to be closed.”

He predicted that the "numbers will change" this time around in terms of the amount of support among senators.
