HR 1488 United States House · 119th Congress

To repeal the authorizations for use of military force against Iraq.

HR 1488 repeals two laws that authorized U.S. military force against Iraq: the 1991 Gulf War authorization and the 2002 Iraq War authorization. This bill removes the legal basis for military operations under these specific resolutions, directly affecting how future U.S. military actions in Iraq could be justified. The key provision is the direct repeal of both resolutions from federal law, eliminating their continued legal effect. As a result, any new military action in Iraq would require fresh congressional authorization rather than relying on these repealed laws.
