At present, the Senate is scheduled to take a key procedural vote on repealing a pair of decades-old authorizations for the usage of army drive towards Iraq, a transfer that advocates argue is lengthy overdue to place a test on the White Home and assert the position of Congress in declaring warfare. The bipartisan laws, championed by Sens. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) and Todd C. Younger (R-Ind.), would repeal the 1991 Persian Gulf Warfare authorization and the 2002 Iraq Warfare authorization.
