Senator Baldwin Votes to Formally End Gulf and Iraq Wars
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, after voting to repeal the Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) in Iraq under President George W. Bush in 2002, as well as under President George H.W. Bush in 1991, U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) released the following statement:
Senator Baldwin also supports repealing the 2001 AUMF for the War on Terror, which authorized the widespread use of force by the executive branch in the wake of 9/11. Last week, she joined a bipartisan group of Senators in support of an amendment to repeal the 2001 authorization to ensure it is not misused, but it did not pass the Senate.
