Prevent Endless Wars Act

This bill, officially titled the "Prevent Endless Wars Act," seeks to impose stricter controls on the duration of military engagements authorized by Congress. Its primary mechanism is to deny certain congressional priority procedures to any authorization for use of military force (AUMF) that permits military action for a period longer than five years or for an unspecified period of time.

By amending Section 6 of the War Powers Resolution, the bill ensures that such open-ended or excessively long AUMFs will not benefit from expedited legislative consideration. This change is designed to compel Congress to periodically review and reauthorize military operations, thereby preventing indefinite conflicts. The provisions of this Act will be applicable to all joint resolutions or bills introduced as AUMFs after its date of enactment.
