Bill > HR1488

This bill proposes to repeal two key authorizations for the use of military force against Iraq: the first Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) Against Iraq Resolution from 1991 (Public Law 102-1) and the second AUMF Against Iraq Resolution from 2002 (Public Law 107-243). These authorizations historically permitted U.S. military action in Iraq, with the 1991 resolution related to the Gulf War and the 2002 resolution supporting military operations that ultimately led to the invasion of Iraq in 2003. By repealing these resolutions, the bill would remove the legal basis for potential future military interventions in Iraq without additional congressional authorization, effectively ending the existing congressional permissions for military action that have been in place for decades. The bill is straightforward, consisting of two sections that each explicitly revoke a specific Iraq-related military force authorization, thereby limiting the executive branch's ability to conduct military operations in Iraq under these previous congressional approvals.
