U.S. Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky wants to return war powers to Congress. Senator Paul has introduced an amendment to repeal the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force. If passed, the amendment would end the authorization for the war in Afghanistan. In a statement, Paul said War should not be the decision of one person. And he says ending congressional authorization for the Afghanistan war plus the war in Iraq and the 1991 war in the Persian Gulf would return the power to start a war to the American people and their representatives.
