To repeal the authorizations for use of military force against Iraq.

This bill would cancel two old permissions that let the President use military force in Iraq. It repeals the 1991 and 2002 Iraq war authorizations, which have stayed on the books for years even though those wars are over.

In plain terms, future military action in or against Iraq would need fresh approval from Congress, instead of relying on those old permissions. Day to day, nothing changes immediately for most people, but it tightens when and how a President can use force tied to Iraq, and it updates the law to match today’s reality.

• Who is affected: The President and the U.S. military; families of service members; Congress’s role in war decisions.
• What changes: The 1991 and 2002 Iraq war authorizations are repealed; any new action would need new approval.
• When: It would take effect once signed into law.
