End the Use of AUMFs as Open-Ended Justifications for War
The 2001 and 2002 Authorizations for Use of Military Force (AUMFs) have been used to justify military actions around the world without new congressional approval. This has allowed U.S. military engagements to continue indefinitely.
Repeal outdated AUMFs and require new, narrowly defined authorizations for any future military action. Any military engagement should be subject to strict time limits and geographical constraints unless reauthorized by Congress.
