United States119th CongressHR-6751House of Representatives
Updated: Dec 16, 2025

Summary

This bill aims to repeal Public Law 107-40, known as the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF). Congress finds that this authorization has been used to justify a broad and open-ended application of military force, which it deems inconsistent with its constitutional authority to declare war and make laws regarding the use of force. The central provision of the bill is the repeal of the 2001 AUMF. This repeal is slated to take effect 240 days after the date of the bill's enactment, providing a transition period for any ongoing military operations justified under the existing authorization.
