US Rep. (17th) Conor Lamb Says The AUMF Against Iraq No Longer Necessary

Representative Conor Lamb (PA-17) released a statement yesterday after the House passed H.R. 256, which repeals the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 2002:

Lamb said in the statement that “Nearly 20 years after Congress authorized military force against Saddam’s Iraq, it is time to recognize that that AUMF is no longer necessary. I am confident that the Biden administration has the legal authority it needs to protect our troops and our country, and that this President will follow the law in any future conflicts.”
