Congresswoman Barbara Lee Calls for Sunset of AUMF, Report on Lethal Use of Drones, Introduces Amendments to National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014

This overly-broad blank check that gives unlimited authority to any president to wage war at any time. As the only member of Congress to vote against the AUMF after the horrific events of September 11th, I remain deeply concerned about this unchecked power. The AUMF has catapulted our country into a state of perpetual war that must come to an end.
