Friend, 

Throughout my ten years in the U.S. Senate, I’ve fought to end the decades-long 1991 and 2002 authorizations of military force.

Presidents of both parties have misused this policy to justify military action without consulting Congress. And today, I’m proud to announce that the U.S. Senate has passed my bipartisan legislation to end the unnecessary and outdated Iraq Authorizations for Use of Military Force.

It’s been a long time coming. And I’m thankful to my colleagues in the Senate, especially Indiana Senator Todd Young, who has helped spearhead this legislation with me.

Most importantly, I’m thankful to the men and women who bravely served our nation in the Gulf War of 1991, the Iraq War in the 2000s, and all of our servicemembers who have and continue to proudly wear the uniform of our nation.

Thank you for standing with me in the fight to restore Constitutional checks and balances -- and ending these Authorizations of Military Force once and for all. When President Biden signs this legislation into law, it will be thanks in no small part to your support.

Sincerely,

Tim Kaine
