Annotated: Obama鈥檚 Proposed Authorization for the Use of Military Force Against ISIS
President Obama just sent Congress his proposed legislation to authorize his use of military force against ISIS. An Authorization for the Use of Military Force against the group is long overdue given that the president has been conducting airstrikes against the group since last summer. While the White House has taken a constructive step by finally engaging Congress on the issue, the proposed text would provide the executive yet another dangerously overbroad war authorization. I鈥檒l show you what I mean in the annotations to the president鈥檚 text below.
If Congress grants authority for the use of force against ISIS 鈥� as the Constitution requires for any use of force 鈥� the authority must be significantly more limited and more specific than the authority the administration has proposed.
