## 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.
