(Worthy News) – Lawmakers on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee introduced new Authorization for the Use of Military Force legislation to replace current war authorizations from 2001 and 2002 that have not been revised since they were passed.
The measure allows the president to use necessary force to combat Al Qaeda, the Taliban, ISIS, and other designated associated forces. However, it does not permit the president to take military action against a nation state.
The president must inform Congress of military action, Congress then has a 60-day window to try to remove the president’s authority of military force if necessary. [ Source: Fox News (Read More…) ]
