Vote Summary

S 316 - A bill to repeal the authorizations for use of military force against Iraq.

118th Congress (1st) Vote 61 is a Senate Vote on Bill S 316, A bill to repeal the authorizations for use of military force against Iraq.. S 316 was introduced on February 9, 2023 by 1 Sponsors and 92 Cosponsors.

Bill 118 s 316, also known as the "A bill to repeal the authorizations for use of military force against Iraq," is a piece of legislation currently being considered by the US Congress. The bill aims to revoke the authorizations that were previously granted for the use of military force against Iraq.

The authorizations for the use of military force against Iraq were originally passed by Congress in 2002, in the lead-up to the US invasion of Iraq. These authorizations have been controversial and have been the subject of much debate and scrutiny over the years.

The bill, if passed, would effectively nullify these authorizations and prevent any future military action against Iraq based on these previous authorizations. This would mark a significant shift in US foreign policy towards Iraq and could have far-reaching implications for the region. Supporters of the bill argue that the original authorizations for the use of military force against Iraq are outdated and no longer relevant to the current situation in the region. They believe that revoking these authorizations would help to prevent any future unnecessary military intervention in Iraq. Opponents of the bill, on the other hand, argue that revoking these authorizations could weaken the US's ability to respond to threats in the region and could send the wrong message to Iraq and other countries in the Middle East. Overall, the passage of Bill 118 s 316 would represent a significant change in US foreign policy towards Iraq and would have important implications for the region. The bill is currently being debated in Congress, and its ultimate fate remains uncertain.
