Senate Repeals Iraq War Authorizations Decades Later, Faces Opposition from McConnell and GOP Amendments.

The Senate has voted to repeal authorizations from 1991 and 2002 for combat operations against Iraq, with 18 GOP senators joining in support. The bill goes next to the Republican-led House, which has passed similar legislation several times in recent years but where GOP leaders are undecided about whether to put it on the floor. If the measure clears Congress and is signed by President Biden, who has indicated his support, it would be the first repeal of a war authorization in more than a half century and a crucial first step toward building momentum to tackle more significant and far more complicated endeavors.
