This bill would repeal the Authorization for Use of Military Force (Public Law 107-40), commonly called the 2001 AUMF. The repeal would take effect 240 days after the bill becomes law. The bill includes a congressional finding that the 2001 AUMF has been used to justify a broad, open-ended authorization for the use of military force and that such an interpretation is inconsistent with Congress’s constitutional authority to declare war.
If enacted, the legal authorization created by the 2001 AUMF would end 240 days after enactment. The bill text does not provide details about how ending that authorization would affect specific military operations, federal agencies, or individual people. No publicly available information in the bill text describes implementation steps or transitional rules.
