    1. Sens @timkaine & @ToddYoungIN try again to repeal the 01 & 02 AUMFs. Such proposals failed in the past bc lawmakers disagree about how to write a replacement legal basis for ongoing counterterrorism warfare - an updated blank check or new limits etc. scribd.com/document/401216220/Kaine-Young-Introduce-Bill-to-Repeal-1991-2002-AUMFs-Formalizing-End-of-Gulf-Iraq-Wars

    Correction! This @timkaine & @ToddYoungIN bill would repeal the *1991* (Gulf War) AUMF & the 2002 Iraq War AUMF, but not 2001's (9/11 perpetrators). (Avoiding the 01 one makes this less tricky, tho the exec branch has cited the 02 one, alongside 01, for aspects of ISIS war.)
