It's time to get rid of the AUMF and for Congress to reclaim its sole power to declare war

Sen. Todd Young and Concerned Veterans for America’s John Byrnes write at Fox News: “The greatest challenge we have on that front is returning the responsibility of sending troops into combat to its rightful place – the halls of Congress.

For the last few decades, Congress has largely ceded its authority on military action to the executive branch. By taking a back seat in this debate, members of Congress, the vast majority of whom were not in office 20 years ago, have been allowed to shirk their constitutional responsibilities for waging war.

The 1991 and 2002 Authorizations for Use of Military Force (AUMF) remain on the books – with the real possibility they will be ‘repurposed’ to justify a rush to war or other military action – and should be debated and voted on by Congress.

The 2002 AUMF Against Iraq Resolution is a prime example of an authorization that has outstayed its welcome…

We call on Congress to come together for this common purpose to honor our service members and take back control of military action.”
