Sunset for the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force Act

Sponsored By: Representative Jayapal, Pramila [D-WA-7]

Introduced

Summary

Repealing the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force would remove the broad statutory basis that has been used to justify U.S. military actions and push decisions about war back toward Congress. The bill says the original AUMF has been interpreted too broadly and conflicts with the Constitution’s allocation of war powers.

Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

1 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.

Repeal of 2001 war authorization

This bill would repeal Public Law 107-40, the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF). The repeal would take effect 240 days after enactment. If enacted, this would remove the long-standing statutory basis many officials used to justify military actions. It could change military missions and affect service members and defense contractors. Most households would feel this only indirectly, depending on later policy choices.
