Obama Sends Congress Draft War Authorization

Obama Sends Congress Draft War Authorization WASHINGTON -- The Huffington Post has obtained a copy of President Barack Obama's forthcoming Authorization for the Use of Military Force and the accompanying letter to Congress laying out its components.



The AUMF seeks limits on the war against the Islamic State group in Iraq and Syria, also called ISIS. The president's proposal would limit military action against ISIS to three years, repeal a 2002 Iraq War AUMF that's still in effect and allow for limited use of U.S. ground troops. It would keep in place a sweeping 2001 AUMF.



See below for the AUMF and the letter.
