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.
βItβs ... 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,β he said.

"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."
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?
To: ChicagoConservative27
Let’s repeal Schumer first.

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

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.

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