The U.S. Senate has advanced a bipartisan measure toward a final vote to repeal two U.S. authorizations for military action against Iraq.

The Senate voted, 68–27, on March 16 to invoke cloture, surpassing the needed 60-vote threshold, on legislation that would undo the 1991 and 2002 Authorizations for the Use of Military Force (AUMFs).
