This bill would cancel two older laws that let the U.S. president use military force against Iraq. If passed, it would remove both the 1991 and 2002 authorizations, meaning those specific war powers would no longer be on the books.
- It repeals the 1991 law that authorized force against Iraq.
- It also repeals the 2002 law that authorized force against Iraq.
- The bill does not create a new military power or set new rules for Iraq; it simply removes these two existing authorizations.
