Washington: The House of Representatives voted on Thursday to repeal a 2002 use-of-force measure that gave the US military the legal authority to invade Iraq, in a bipartisan effort that has earned support from Joe Biden’s White House.
The vote of 268-161 now sends the repeal of the authorisation of the use of military force, or AUMF, to the Senate, where its future is uncertain. While the chamber’s top Democrat Chuck Schumer expressed support on the Senate floor for the repeal, the first time he has done so publicly, he said he would bring the issue to a vote sometime this year.
