 I  119th CONGRESS
  1st Session  H. R. 6751  IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES   December 16, 2025   Ms. Jayapal  (for herself,  Mr. Massie ,  Mr. McGovern ,  Mr. Griffith ,  Mr. Casar , and  Mr. Crane ) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the  Committee on Foreign Affairs    A BILL
To repeal  Public Law 107–40 .

Short title
This Act may be cited as the   Sunset for the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force Act  .
2.
Congressional finding
Congress finds that the Authorization for Use of Military Force ( Public Law 107–40 ;  50 U.S.C. 1541  note), signed into law on September 18, 2001, has been used to justify a broad and open-ended authorization for the use of military force and such an interpretation is inconsistent with the authority of Congress to declare war and make all laws for executing powers vested by the Constitution in the Government of the United States.
3.
Repeal of  Public Law 107–40
Effective 240 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Authorization for Use of Military Force ( Public Law 107–40 ;  50 U.S.C. 1541  note) is hereby repealed.
