Reshaping Perspectives and Catalyzing Diplomatic Evolution

The US Senate approves the cancellation of two mandates for the Iraq war

US senators voted overwhelmingly to pass a bill revoking my mandate “The use of military force in Iraq” which were adopted by Congress in 1991 and 2002.

And the legislation was approved by 66 members, while 30 members voted against it. For the legislation to become law, it must still pass the Republican-led House of Representatives, where the chances of approval are slimmer. And if it is passed by the House of Representatives, it will be sent to US President Joe Biden to sign it.

Biden has made it clear he will sign the legislation if it reaches his office. The United States Constitution grants the power to declare war to Congress, but that power gradually shifted to the president after Congress approved authorizations, still in effect, to use military force such as the 2002 authorization for Iraq, as well as the procedure that made it possible to fight against al-Qaeda after the 11 attacks. September 2001.

The vote is the latest attempt by lawmakers to restore congressional power to decide whether troops should be sent into combat, which proponents of repeal said was ceded to the White House with the approval of the Senate and House of Representatives before it failed to revoke open-ended war authorizations.
