To repeal the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution.

Summary of Bill HR 3261
Bill 117 HR 3261, also known as the "Repeal of Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution," aims to revoke the authorization granted by Congress in 2002 for the use of military force in Iraq. The bill was introduced in response to concerns about the ongoing military presence in Iraq and the need to reassess the United States' involvement in the region.
If passed, this legislation would effectively nullify the authorization that was passed nearly two decades ago, which allowed the US military to engage in operations in Iraq. Supporters of the bill argue that the situation in Iraq has changed significantly since 2002 and that the authorization is no longer necessary or relevant.
Opponents of the bill, however, may argue that revoking the authorization could limit the ability of the US military to respond to threats in the region or undermine efforts to combat terrorism. The bill is currently being debated in Congress, and its outcome remains uncertain.
