The Hill | House panel to take up 2002 war authorization repeal in ‘coming weeks’
The House Foreign Affairs Committee will consider in the “coming weeks” a bill to repeal the 2002 war authorization, the committee’s chairman said Friday.
“Given that the 2002 AUMF is not needed for any ongoing military operations, there is no reason at all to leave it in place,” committee Chairman Gregory Meeks (D-N.Y.) said, referring to the authorization for the use of military force (AUMF). “I intend to mark up legislation in the Foreign Affairs Committee in the coming weeks to repeal it.”
Repealing the 2002 AUMF, he added, “absolutely should not be a problem to pass.” |
