Since only Congress can declare war, maybe they feel they can undeclare a war? Interesting Constituitional point and will probably provoke a crisis.

“Interesting Constituitional point and will probably provoke a crisis.”

My first thought.

My understanding is that the authorization is the equivalent of a declaration of war. Otherwise there couldn’t have been a war in the first place. And the constitution is clear about who can declare war.. but not about who can undeclare it...
