Senate repeals Iraq war authorizations despite McConnell's opposition.

TL;DR Summary
The Senate has voted to repeal the legal justifications used to attack Iraq in 1991 and 2003, endorsing a rare bipartisan effort by Congress to revoke the authority to wage war from the executive branch just days after the 20-year anniversary of the start of the Iraq War. The legislation now heads to the House, where lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are open to taking action. The White House has said President Biden supports repealing the 1991 and 2002 authorizations and is open to replacing "outdated authorizations" with a "narrow and specific framework more appropriate to protecting Americans from modern terrorist threats."
