The Senate has voted to repeal the decades-old congressional measure that greenlighted the 2003 invasion of Iraq.

The Iraq War ended years ago, and repeal is not expected to affect any current troop deployments. The bipartisan legislation would also repeal the 1991 measure that sanctioned the U.S.-led Gulf War. Lawmakers in both parties are increasingly seeking to claw back congressional powers over U.S. military strikes and deployments. Read moreSenate votes to repeal 2002 measure that approved Iraq war
