SUMMARY
WHAT THIS CHANGES
This amendment cancels two old laws from 1991 and 2002 that gave the President permission to use military force in Iraq. By removing these, Congress is reclaiming its power to decide when the U.S. goes to war, ensuring old authorizations aren't used for new, unintended conflicts.
§ 04
KEY POINTS
2POINT 01
Ends outdated war permissions
The 1991 and 2002 authorizations were written for specific historical situations that are no longer active.
POINT 02
Reclaims Congressional power
The Constitution gives Congress the power to declare war; this prevents that power from being bypassed using 'zombie' laws from decades ago.
