Summary
Repeal of the Authorization for Use of Military Force
This bill declares that Congress finds that the Authorization for Use of Military Force (P.L. 107-40) has been used to justify an open-ended authorization for the use of military force and such an interpretation is inconsistent with the authority of Congress to declare war and make all laws for executing powers vested by the Constitution in the U.S. government.
The bill repeals the Authorization for Use of Military Force, effective 180 days after the date of enactment of this Act.
