Bill Summary

JOINT RESOLUTION To repeal the authorizations for use of military force against Iraq, and for other purposes..

AI Summary

This Joint Resolution formally revokes two previous authorizations for the use of military force against Iraq: the 1991 Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution (often referred to as the 1991 AUMF) and the 2002 Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution (the 2002 AUMF). These authorizations, enacted in 1991 and 2002 respectively, provided legal grounds for military action against Iraq. The resolution explains that these older authorizations are no longer necessary for current U.S. military operations in Iraq, which are conducted at the invitation of the Iraqi government to combat ISIS and are supported by other legal authorities, such as the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) against terrorists. The repeal is intended to provide a clear political and legal conclusion to these past authorizations, as they are not being used as the sole basis for detaining enemy combatants and their repeal would not impact ongoing military activities.
