Senate Approves Repeal of Decades-Old Iraq War Authorizations with Biden's Support.
TL;DR Summary
The Senate has advanced a bill to repeal two congressional resolutions that authorized the use of military force in Iraq, one from the Gulf War in 1991 and another from 2002. The bill would close an open-ended justification that presidents have used to carry out military actions in Iraq, allowing Congress to reassert its authority when it comes to where and when to send troops into battle. The resolution will go to the House for a vote if approved by the Senate, which President Biden backs.
