Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) says he will schedule a vote soon to repeal the 2002 Iraq War resolution, a proposal that has strong bipartisan support but has languished in Congress for years.

Schumer announced Tuesday after a meeting of the Senate Democratic Caucus that he will move to fulfill his pledge to wipe the authorization for use of military force (AUMF) from the books, so that President Biden or any future president would need new authorization from Congress to launch military operations in Iraq.

“It’s ... my plan to hold a vote on repealing the 2002 Iraq AUMF. I made a commitment to have a vote on it earlier this year by the end of the year and the time for that is now. Repealing the AUMF is also bipartisan and I think we can get the votes we need to pass it,” he said.

[cdcdawg]

“At this point, what difference does it make?”

[sauropod]

Mee too.

[DIRTYSECRET]

Overdue. Where’s the heavy lifting?

[Skywise]

How about revoking the Patriot Act first, twit.

Being proposed by Schumer, it begs the question: what scam is underway by Democrats and Rinos in the Middle East that is prompting this action?

Let’s repeal Schumer first.

They claimed a few months ago they had ALREADY “repealed” the 2002 Iraq War Powers act in a “historic, bipartisan vote”:

Reminds me of the repeated news headlines that they apparently “ended” the Spanish-American War telephone tax on about three different occasions!

But this time Chuckie might actually be doing a good thing.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

That was the OTHER 2002 Iraq War Powers Act. 🤡

So another usless PR stunt to deflect from the Biden Democrats complete failure to do anything useful for US working families.

[Romulus]

They’ll never let go of that without a fight.

[Tench_Coxe]

I remember getting that phone bill notifying me the tax was removed. That was in the 1990s. I vividly remember my relief that the Spanish-American War had finally come to an end.

[wastedyears]

There’s too much money in it for them. I guess that ran out for this idiot.

[South Dakota]

The Democrats don’t care.
They will bomb whoever has gold they want

[Carriage Hill]

Don’t get between him and a TV camera, or you’ll get killed in the rush.
