.SenateForeign advanced a bipartisan bill that would repeal a pair of authorizations for the use of military force that would bring an official end to the Gulf & Iraq wars. Last month, 6 lawmakers reintroduced a bill together that would revoke the AUMFs.
A group of six lawmakers reintroduced a bill last month that would revoke the 1991 and 2002 AUMFs that paved the way for the U.S. military to initiate the use of force in the Middle East wars. The bill’s progress marks a significant shift as some Republicans join their Democratic colleagues in calling for the reining in of U.S. forces abroad.“Later this month, we will mark the 20th anniversary of the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq.
House lawmakers passed a bill repealing the pair of AUMFs in the last Congress, but those efforts failed to make it to a vote in the deadlocked Senate. However, supporters of the legislation say they’re confident they have enough votes to overcome a filibuster and hold a vote in the coming weeks. The bill would then head to the House, where it’s unclear whether House Speaker Kevin McCarthy will agree to bring it up for a vote. The Republican leader didn’t support the legislation in the last Congress, but some lawmakers have indicated confidence it could garner enough support among Republicans to pass the lower chamber.
