Ends indefinite military actions by setting time limits for war authorizations.
This bill would set time limits on how long the U.S. can use military force or declare war. Future authorizations would automatically end after 10 years, and existing ones would end 6 months after the bill becomes law. This means Congress would need to vote again to continue military actions.
Today, authorizations for military force and declarations of war can last indefinitely once approved by Congress. If this bill becomes law, all future authorizations would automatically end after 10 years. All existing authorizations would end 6 months after the bill takes effect.
