Bill > S804

This bill, called the Accountability for Endless Wars Act of 2025, establishes a time limit for military authorizations and war declarations. Specifically, any new authorization for the use of military force (AUMF) or war declaration passed after this bill becomes law will automatically expire 10 years after its initial enactment. For existing military authorizations and war declarations that are already in place, the bill mandates that they will terminate 6 months after this law is enacted. The purpose of this legislation appears to be preventing prolonged military engagements by requiring periodic congressional review and re-authorization of military actions. By setting automatic sunset provisions, the bill aims to increase congressional accountability and prevent what some view as "endless wars" by forcing lawmakers to explicitly reauthorize military actions at regular intervals, thus ensuring more ongoing scrutiny of military commitments.
