tv_txt: I 118th CONGRESS 1st Session H. R. 2501 IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES April 6, 2023 Ms. Lee of California introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs A BILL To repeal Public Law 107–40.

1. Short title This Act may be cited as the Sunset for the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force Act . 2. Congressional finding Congress finds that the Authorization for Use of Military Force ( Public Law 107–40 ; 50 U.S.C. 1541 note), signed into law on September 18, 2001, has been used to justify a broad and open-ended authorization for the use of military force and such an interpretation is inconsistent with the authority of Congress to declare war and make all laws for executing powers vested by the Constitution in the Government of the United States. 3. Repeal of Public Law 107–40 Effective 240 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Authorization for Use of Military Force ( Public Law 107–40 ; 50 U.S.C. 1541 note) is hereby repealed.
