Where it stands
House: PASSED/ADOPTED WITH AMENDMENT
Every floor vote on this bill was a voice or division vote, so there is no record of how individual legislators voted.
A bill goes on the consent calendar when the committee vote was unanimous or nearly so, and any members who dissented did not object to placing it there. It then passes without floor debate. Ten members may file a petition to pull a bill off the consent calendar and have it debated and voted on separately.

Committee — OUGHT TO PASS WITH AMENDMENT
With the passage of the National Defense Authorization Act of 2025, the 2002 Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) was repealed. The last remaining authorization from the Global War on Terror is the original 2001 AUMF, and this resolution requests our federal congressional delegation support efforts to repeal it. Osama bin Laden has been dead for over a decade, as well as the leadership structure that supported the attacks of September 11, 2001. The broadly worded 2001 AUMF which was rapidly passed after those attacks, has been used as justification in actions across over 20 countries, and against targets that had nothing to do with the 9/11 attacks. With it remaining in effect, it leaves the door open for further military misadventures that could result in future blowback that could be very concerning. Should the time come for specific military action, Congress should put forth a vote for it, not hide behind a quarter-century-old authorization with no sunset provision. Thus, the committee recommends Ought to Pass with Amendment. Vote 16-1.
