This bill would require all military force authorizations and war declarations to automatically expire after a set period. Future authorizations would last no longer than 10 years before automatically ending, while existing military authorizations currently in effect would terminate 180 days after the bill becomes law. The legislation targets what sponsors view as "endless wars" by forcing Congress to regularly revisit and re-authorize any military actions rather than allowing them to continue indefinitely under decades-old authorizations. The bill does not establish new funding or create specific timelines for military operations themselves, but instead sets expiration dates on the legal authority to conduct military activities. This would require Congress to take affirmative action to extend any military authorizations that lawmakers want to continue beyond these deadlines.
