JUST IN: The Senate passed a bipartisan bill that would end the military authorizations allowing for US involvement in the Gulf and Iraq wars. The bill now heads to the House.
The bill now heads to the House, where it is expected to pass if Speaker Kevin McCarthy decides to bring it up for a vote.Senators voted to advance the measure last week, opening the door for Republicans to negotiate a series of amendments to the bill, which would repeal the authorizations for the use of military force passed in 1991 and 2002 that paved the way for the United States to get involved in the Middle Eastern wars. Lawmakers submitted more than 50 amendments to be considered.
The vote comes soon after the 20-year anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Iraq, which some lawmakers have pointed to as evidence that the AUMFs are outdated. House lawmakers passed a bill repealing the pair of AUMFs in the last Congress, but those efforts stalled in the deadlocked Senate. However, senators on both sides of the aisle say they’re confident the measure now has enough votes to get to President Joe Biden's desk.
An ideologically diverse group of House lawmakers, ranging from members of the conservative Freedom Caucus to progressives such as Rep. Barbara Lee , have co-sponsored the legislation.
