The Senate Foreign Relations Committee on March 8 voted to repeal the Authorizations for Use of Military Force (AUMF) in Iraq, as the 20th anniversary of the March 19, 2003, invasion approaches.

Both the 2002 and 1991 AUMFs were advanced in the committee by a vote of 13–8. The full Senate could vote on the legislation in the next few weeks.
