After 18 years, the Democrat led House of Representatives has voted to repeal the Authorization for Use of Military Force passed 420-1 after the entire United States was attacked on September 11, 2001. The joint resolution was originally passed to “authorize the use of United States Armed Forces against those responsible for the recent attacks launched against the United States.” The broad law resolution was passed in recognition of the fact that we were not attacked by another country or a conventional military.
