Senate moves to repeal Iraq war authorizations despite GOP opposition.
TL;DR
The Senate advanced a bill that would repeal the authorizations for war in Iraq with bipartisan support, including 18 Republicans. The bill would repeal the 1991 and 2002 authorizations for use of military force in Iraq. President Biden has signaled that he would sign the legislation if it reaches his desk. The final vote in the Senate is expected next week, the 20th anniversary of the 2003 US invasion of Iraq. The bill would allow Congress to reassert its authority to declare war and would not affect current US military operations in Iraq.
