AI Summary
This bill, titled the Walter B. Jones Restoring Power to Congress Act, repeals the Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) that was signed into law on September 18, 2001. The AUMF provided the legal basis for the use of military force in response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks. This bill would eliminate that authorization one year after the date of enactment, effectively returning the power to declare war to Congress, as outlined in the U.S. Constitution.
