TL;DR Summary

The US Senate has voted to repeal the 2002 resolution that authorized military action in Iraq, with a final vote of 66-30, including bipartisan support. The repeal also includes an earlier authorization from the first Gulf War in 1991. The measure faces an uncertain fate in the Republican-controlled House, but President Biden has said he would sign it if it passes in both chambers. The vote forced lawmakers to account for a 2002 vote that many regard as one of Congress's biggest mistakes.
