Description:

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) is introducing legislation that would sunset the Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) beginning in 2015. Schiff's legislation finds that the Authorization to Use Military Force (AUMF) now poorly defines those who pose a threat to the country, and that it should expire concurrent with the end of our combat role in Afghanistan. The bill sunsets the AUMF effective December 31, 2014.
