The House will have 10 minutes to debate the authorization to fight against the Islamic State on Thursday as it wraps up its consideration of the fiscal 2017 defense policy bill.

An amendment from Rep. Barbara Lee, D-Calif., to repeal the 2001 authorization for the use of military force was ruled in order and will be debated by the full House on Thursday afternoon. The amendment would repeal the authorization to fight terrorists 90 days after the National Defense Authorization Act becomes law.
