The Outdated AUMF Repeal Act seeks to remove three long‑standing authorizations that allow the United States to use military force. It specifically repeals the 2002 Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) against Iraq, the original 1991 Iraq AUMF, and a 1957 joint resolution aimed at promoting peace and stability in the Middle East. The changes affect how the U.S. can legally conduct military operations and reshape foreign‑policy authority.

Key Provisions

  • Repeals the 2002 Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq (Public Law 107‑243).
  • Repeals the original 1991 Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq (Public Law 102‑1).
  • Repeals the joint resolution titled “A joint resolution to promote peace and stability in the Middle East” (Public Law 85‑7).
