To the editor:
On June 17, the US House of Representatives voted 268 to 161 to repeal the 2002 Authorization for Use of Military Force against Iraq by passing HR 256. In co-sponsoring the bill, Missouri Congresspersons Bush and Cleaver helped open a new era for Congress to reclaim its Article 1 constitutional authority to declare war.
Prior to passage, the Executive Office of the President issued a statement of administration policy supporting passage of HR 256, indicating the United States has no ongoing military activities that rely solely on the 2002 AUMF as a domestic legal basis, and repeal of the 2002 AUMF would likely have minimal impact on current military operations.
