Time to end this anti-democratic, autocratic blank check for future wars

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer
This Senate Foreign Relations Committee has reached an agreement to move forward on the repeal of the Iraq AUMF.

We need to put the Iraq war behind us once and for all.

And doing that means we should repeal the legal authority that initiated the war to begin with.
