Sponsored By: Representative Jayapal, Pramila [D-WA-7]
Introduced
Summary
Repeal of the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force is the bill's central aim. The bill would revoke Public Law 107-40 and end that statutory authorization 240 days after enactment, following a congressional finding that the AUMF has been used to justify a broad, open-ended authority inconsistent with the Constitution's allocation of war powers to Congress.

Repeal of 2001 military force authorization
This bill would repeal the Authorization for Use of Military Force enacted in 2001. The repeal would take effect 240 days after the date of enactment. If enacted, this would remove the long-standing law used to justify many U.S. overseas military actions. That change could affect service members, contractors, detainees, partner countries, and communities with deployed troops. It does not create new military authorities or funding.
