The 2002 Iraq War Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) has been the subject of repeal efforts by members of Congress.
Notes on verification
Multiple independent, high-quality sources (Wikipedia, FCNL, Roll Call, congressional records) confirm sustained repeal efforts spanning 2021-2025, culminating in actual repeal via the FY2026 NDAA in December 2025. Claim is accurate though understates eventual success.
