SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The terrorist organization that has referred to itself
as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant and various other
names (in this resolution referred to as ''ISIL'') poses a
grave threat to the people and territorial integrity of Iraq
and Syria, regional stability, and the national security
interests of the United States and its allies and partners.
(2) ISIL holds significant territory in Iraq and Syria and
has stated its intention to seize more territory and
demonstrated the capability to do so.
(3) ISIL leaders have stated that they intend to conduct
terrorist attacks internationally, including against the United
States, its citizens, and interests.
(4) ISIL has committed despicable acts of violence and mass
executions against Muslims, regardless of sect, who do not
subscribe to ISIL's depraved, violent, and oppressive ideology.
(5) ISIL has threatened genocide and committed vicious acts
of violence against religious and ethnic minority groups,
including Iraqi Christian, Yezidi, and Turkmen populations.
(6) ISIL has targeted innocent women and girls with
horrific acts of violence, including abduction, enslavement,
torture, rape, and forced marriage.
(7) ISIL is responsible for the deaths of innocent United
States citizens, including James Foley, Steven Sotloff, Abdul-
Rahman Peter Kassig, and Kayla Mueller.
(8) The United States is working with regional and global
allies and partners to degrade and defeat ISIL, to cut off its
funding, to stop the flow of foreign fighters to its ranks, and
to support local communities as they reject ISIL.
(9) The announcement of the anti-ISIL Coalition on
September 5, 2014, during the NATO Summit in Wales, stated that
ISIL poses a serious threat and should be countered by a broad
international coalition.
(10) The United States calls on its allies and partners,
particularly in the Middle East and North Africa, to join the
anti-ISIL Coalition and defeat this terrorist threat.
(11) President Barack Obama, United States military
leaders, and United States allies in the region have made clear
that it is more effective to use the unique capabilities of the
United States Government to support regional partners instead
of large-scale deployments of United States ground forces in
this mission.

SEC. 3. AUTHORIZATION FOR USE OF UNITED STATES ARMED FORCES.

(a) Authorization.--The President is authorized to use the Armed
Forces of the United States as the President determines necessary and
appropriate against ISIL or associated persons or forces as defined in
section 6.
(b) War Powers Resolution Requirements.--
(1) Specific statutory authorization.--Consistent with
section 8(a)(1) of the War Powers Resolution (50 U.S.C.
1547(a)(1)), Congress declares that this section is intended to
constitute specific statutory authorization within the meaning
of section 5(b) of the War Powers Resolution (50 U.S.C.
1544(b)).

Act supersedes any requirements of the War Powers Resolution
(50 U.S.C. 1541 et seq.).

lives of United States citizens and to provide military support to
