This event represents routine congressional oversight through war powers legislation, a recurring constitutional mechanism. A-score: separation_of_powers (4) reflects congressional check on executive military authority, rule_of_law (3) for reasserting statutory constraints, violence (1) for military threat context. Mechanism modifier 0.6 applied for norm_erosion_only with no concrete damage. Base 8.88 * 0.6 = 5.33. B-score: media_friendliness (4) for bipartisan drama narrative, outrage_bait (3) for military threat framing, timing (3) and pattern_match (3) for Venezuela crisis context. Layer1: 13.75, Layer2: 16.2, intentionality 4 (bipartisan framing suggests strategic positioning), final 14.82. Both scores below 25 threshold. This is standard congressional-executive tension over war powers, not constitutional crisis. The bipartisan vote actually demonstrates constitutional checks functioning normally.
