American senators decided to limit the powers of the US president in the use of military force. Democrat Tim Kane and Republican Todd Young were the authors of the relevant bill, TASS reports.
The reason for the change in legislation was the airstrikes on Syria, which the US military carried out on the orders of US President Joe Biden. “The airstrikes show that the executive branch, regardless of the party, will continue to expand its military powers,” the Senate said. According to the authors of the project, the current laws allow the country to conduct “endless wars” in the Middle East for two decades.
It is noted that we are talking about the cancellation of the initiative that Congress adopted after a series of terrorist attacks in the United States in September 2001. According to her, the American president can use military force without the consent of the legislators.
