Repeals military force authorizations from the Cold War era.
The problem
Old military authorizations from Cold War conflicts remain legally active, potentially allowing military action without current congressional approval or debate.
The proposal
Removes outdated Cold War-era military force authorizations that are no longer relevant to current national security needs.
The impact
Military and Congress affected by changes to legal authority for military operations. May require new authorizations for any future military actions.
Requires Congress to vote on new military authorizations rather than relying on decades-old Cold War decisions. Ensures current lawmakers decide on military action, not past generations.
Eliminates broad, outdated legal justifications that could be stretched to justify modern military operations. Makes military action require fresh debate and approval.
Allows new authorizations tailored to today's actual security challenges rather than Cold War threats. Ensures military powers match modern circumstances.
Repealing old authorizations without replacements could create confusion about what military actions are legal. May take time to pass new authorizations.
Requiring new congressional votes for military actions could slow response time in emergencies. Urgent military needs might face bureaucratic delays.
Congress may struggle to agree on new military authorizations, leaving gaps in military legal authority. Partisan disagreements could complicate security decisions.
Military commanders may lack clear legal guidance during the transition period. Creates ambiguity about which operations are authorized.

Individual contributions, grouped by employer · FEC
Where their individual donors work · 2026 cycle
Money from people who work there, not from the company. Not tied to this bill.
Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported. Companies and unions cannot contribute to federal candidates from their treasuries, so these totals are money from people who work at an employer — never from the organization itself. They are campaign contributions covering a full election cycle and are not connected to this bill.
