Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Under the U.S. Constitution, one of Congress' core responsibilities is "To declare War ... raise and support Armies ... provide and maintain a Navy ... [and] make Rules for the Government and Regulation of the land and naval Forces." In practice, Congress has exercised this constitutional responsibility to authorize military operations through a legislative vehicle known as the Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF). Since authorizing the use of military force against the perpetrators of the 9/11 attacks, Congress has refrained from creating any new authorization for use of force. While the 2001 AUMF remains in place, as the terrorist fight has evolved some in Congress have been seriously thinking about a new AUMF. Despite numerous bipartisan AUMF proposals over the past several years, Congress has been unable to make any substantial progress on the issue for a variety of reasons. Given the blood and treasure at risk in U.S. military operations around the world, it is important to examine the specific reasons why Congress has not answered repeated calls for change with respect to the AUMF. In doing so, one will gain a better understanding as to why the U.S. continues to operate under legislative guidance drafted nearly two decades ago"--from abstract.

Book excerpt: In response to the terrorist attacks against the United States on September 11, 2001, the Congress passed legislation, Senate Joint Resolution 23, on September 14, 2001, authorizing the President to "use all necessary and appropriate force against those nations, organizations, or persons he determines planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, or harbored such organizations or persons ..." The President signed this legislation into law on September 18, 2001 (P.L. 107-40, 115 Stat. 224 (2001)).

Download or read book The Law of Armed Conflict, the Use of Military Force, and the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force written by Committee on Armed Services United States Senate and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2014-08-10 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On September 18, 2001, Congress enacted a joint resolution authorizing the President to, "Use all necessary and appropriate force against those nations, organizations, or persons he determines planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, or harbored such organizations or persons." This authority is referred to as the Authorization for the Use of Military Force (AUMF). Today's hearing will examine the legal basis for the use of military force in accordance with the law of armed conflict, including the use of drones. We have asked our witnesses to help us consider a number of questions including: What is the continuing vitality of the 2001 AUMF a dozen years after its enactment? How will we know when the current conflict is over? Does the AUMF extend to organizations which played no active role in the September 11 attacks and may not have even existed in 2001? Should the AUMF be extended or modified by legislation to cover groups not associated with al Qaeda? What is the legal basis for military action in countries like Yemen and Somalia which are far away from Afghanistan where the September 1 attacks were planned? These and related matters raise challenging questions and there is a wide range of views on the answers.

Download or read book Power Wars written by Charlie Savage and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2015-11-03 with total page 1067 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Charlie Savage's penetrating investigation of the Obama presidency and the national security state. Barack Obama campaigned on changing George W. Bush's "global war on terror" but ended up entrenching extraordinary executive powers, from warrantless surveillance and indefinite detention to military commissions and targeted killings. Then Obama found himself bequeathing those authorities to Donald Trump. How did the United States get here? In Power Wars, Charlie Savage reveals high-level national security legal and policy deliberations in a way no one has done before. He tells inside stories of how Obama came to order the drone killing of an American citizen, preside over an unprecendented crackdown on leaks, and keep a then-secret program that logged every American's phone calls. Encompassing the first comprehensive history of NSA surveillance over the past forty years as well as new information about the Osama bin Laden raid, Power Wars equips readers to understand the legacy of Bush's and Obama's post-9/11 presidencies in the Trump era.

Download or read book The President's Request for Authorization to Use Force Against Isis written by Committee on Foreign Relations United St and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-12-04 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF), which was passed after the 9/11 attacks, was not and is not intended to apply to the current engagement of the United States in Iraq and Syria. It is imperative that Congress authorize any further military action against ISIL. We need to know whether associated forces that come under this agreement could include forces affiliated with ISIL in Libya, Nigeria, or elsewhere. We need to know whether a new administration could revert to relying on the 2001 AUMF in 3 years if this AUMF, if passed, were to expire. And we need to know how long we expect to be there and what our exit strategy will be, what metrics will indicate success, or tell us it is time to bring troops home. We have an obligation to the families who are sending their children into harm's way to understand our goals, what is achievable and what is not, and ultimately to vote to authorize or not authorize the use of force. The AUMF that the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations passed in 2015 had a restriction on the deployment of ground troops, allowing for all potential uses that the administration had so far identified, including the use of special operations forces to go after high value ISIL targets, search and rescue of downed pilots, and the use of forward air controllers with Iraqi units to better direct coalition airstrikes. It also repealed the 2002 AUMF in Iraq and set a 3-year timeframe for Congress to reconsider the 9/11 AUMF.

Download or read book U.S. Military Action Against the Islamic State written by Congressional Research Service and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-09-25 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The capture of significant portions of Iraqi territory in June 2014 by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL or ISIS), which has subsequently begun formally referring to itself as the Islamic State (IS), has prompted renewed U.S. military action in Iraq, along with the discussion of possible military strikes against IS forces located in Syria. Between March 2003 and the end of 2011, the U.S. military forces had been deployed in Iraq first to remove the Saddam Hussein regime from power and then to assist the nascent post-Saddam government in responding to threats to the country's stability. Following the expiration of the U.S.-Iraq Security Agreement at the end of 2011, offensive U.S. military operations ceased and most U.S. forces were withdrawn. This report addresses select legal questions raised by the use of military force against IS. Questions addressed in this report include potential sources (and limitations) of presidential authority to use military force against the Islamic State without congressional authorization; the potential relevance of the 2002 Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq (2002 Iraq AUMF; P.L. 107-243) and the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force (2001 AUMF; P.L. 107-40); the applicability of the United Nations Charter to ongoing U.S. military strikes in Iraq and any prospective strikes against IS forces in Syria; and the constraints imposed by the War Powers Resolution upon U.S. military action that has not been authorized by Congress. The report will be updated as warranted by events"--Preliminary page.

This book was released on 2017-02-28 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the United States embarked on a strategy to counter the Islamic State (also known as ISIL or ISIS) in 2014, some Members of Congress have raised concerns about the President's underlying authority to engage in anti-IS military operations. In the 114th Congress, both houses of Congress took steps to revisit the possibility of considering legislation to provide authority for the use of military force (AUMF) against the Islamic State. Interest has continued into the first session of the 115th Congress and with the start of the Trump Administration. In 2014, the armed offensive of the Islamic State in northern and western Iraq and northeastern Syria raised significant concerns for the United States. After first ordering multiple deployments of U.S. troops to Iraq to provide security to diplomatic personnel and facilities, advise Iraqi security forces, and conduct intelligence gathering and reconnaissance, President Obama began ordering U.S. military airstrikes on IS forces in Iraq in August 2014. Later in September, after laying out plans for expanded use of military force against the Islamic State in a televised speech to the American people, the President ordered U.S. military airstrikes in Syria against both IS forces and forces of the 'KhorasanGroup' identified by the President as part of Al Qaeda. In 2015, the President ordered new deployments to Iraq, and the Administration announced deployment of a small number of special operations forces to Syria to conduct military operations that involve advising regional partner armed forces but also can include 'unilateral' U.S. operations. In 2016, both U.S. military operations and deployments of U.S. Armed Forces increased to continue the campaign against the Islamic State. As military action against the Islamic State has evolved and increased, many observers, including a number of Members of Congress, have raised numerous questions and concerns about the President's authority to use military force against the Islamic State. Some efforts began near the end of the 113th Congress to consider enactment of a new authorization for use of military force targeting the Islamic State, and have continued into the 114th Congress; the issue, however, remains contentious. The President provided Congress a new authorization proposal in February 2015, and in his 2016 State of the Union address again called on Congress to enact a new authorization for use of military force (AUMF) targeting the Islamic State. The Obama Administration's official position on presidential authority to use force against the Islamic State, however, has remained consistent, relying on the previous 2001 AUMF against those who perpetrated the September 11, 2001, terror attacks (and, to a lesser extent, the 2002 AUMF against the Saddam Hussein regime in Iraq). This report focuses on the several proposals for a new AUMF specifically targeting the Islamic State made during the 113th and 114th Congresses as well as those made thus far in the 115th Congress. It includes a brief review of existing authorities and AUMFs, as well as a discussion of issues related to various provisions included in existing and proposed AUMFs that both authorize and limit presidential use of military force. Appendices provide a comparative analysis of similar provisions in the numerous AUMFs proposed in the 113th and 114th Congresses.
