“Two decades ago, the House and Senate voted to give President George W. Bush the authority to use military force in Iraq,” the Wall Street Journal reports.
“With the 20th anniversary of the 2003 Iraq invasion this week and the fighting long over, lawmakers now are weighing whether to repeal that authorization, with proponents saying the measure has outlived its initial intent and Congress needs to claw back some power from the White House on waging war. Critics say ending the authorization is unnecessary and could send a message of weakness abroad.”
“A repeal bill is expected to clear the Senate soon.”
