TL;DR Summary

The Senate has voted 68-27 to advance a bill that would repeal the 2002 Iraq war authorization and the 1991 Gulf War authorization. The legislation was sponsored by Sens. Todd Young (R-Ind.) and Tim Kaine (D-Va.), who argue formally ending the two Authorizations for the Use of Military Force (AUMFs) would send a message of support to Iraq, now a strategic partner in the Middle East. If the Senate bill passes, the House will have to take it up. Similar bipartisan legislation was introduced in the lower chamber earlier this year.
