Bill Summary
A joint resolution to repeal the authorizations for use of military force against Iraq, and for other purposes. This joint resolution repeals authorizations of use of military force against Iraq enacted on January 14, 1991, and October 16, 2002.
AI Summary
This Joint Resolution formally repeals two previous authorizations for the use of military force against Iraq: one enacted on January 14, 1991, and another on October 16, 2002. These authorizations, referred to as AUMFs (Authorization for Use of Military Force), provided the legal basis for military actions against Iraq. The resolution notes that reports indicated no military activities were conducted under these specific authorizations between December 2011 and June 2014, and since then, any relevant military actions have been focused on combating the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and have been conducted at the invitation of the Iraqi government, reinforcing that the repeal of these older AUMFs will not impact current U.S. military operations.
