Representative Barbara Lee of California plans this week to introduce legislation to rescind the authority that Mr. Obama has been citing for using military force against the Islamic State, and effectively bar the use of ground troops in a combat role against the Sunni militant group.
Ms. Lee, who cast the lone “no” vote on a broad authorization of the war on terrorism three days after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, is moving to repeal that measure and another passed the following year for the use of military force in Iraq.
