Senate repeals Iraq War authorizations decades later.

TL;DR Summary
The Senate has voted to repeal authorizations for the use of force in Iraq, including the 2002 Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) that gave President George W. Bush the authority to invade Iraq. The historic bipartisan vote moves to reassert Congress' power over the use of military force abroad. The legislation will now go to the House, where it's unclear if Republicans will take it up. The 2001 AUMF, which authorizes the U.S. to target perpetrators of the 9/11 attacks, is still in effect and there is no sign that it will be repealed by Congress in the near future.
