H.Amdt.1033 to H.R.4909. Rep. Barbara Lee’s (D-CA) amendment would have repealed the outdated, 2001 AUMF. With no expiration date, no geographic limitations, and vague language around acceptable targets, the 2001 AUMF has served as a blank check for war for the executive branch, allowing Congress to shirk one of its most important duties: to debate and vote on whether or not we go to war. Failed, 138-285.
