Senate will vote on revoking Iraq war authorization ‘this year’

Schumer cited former President Donald Trump’s use of the AUMF to take out top Iraqi military commander Qassem Soleimani, which he said was carried out “without transparency, without proper notification to Congress, and without a clear strategy.”
