Well, nobody seems to care but this will become one of the biggest political battles in the next weeks and it is important to us all.

A few things I found about it.....first here is a link to the entire AUMF

Obama’s request for congressional authorization to fight the Islamic State: Full text - The Washington Post

And a few current articles on this subject...

"A mere six months after military operations began against the Islamic State, the White House today formally requested that Congress authorize military operations against the Islamic State. The full text of the resolution proposed by the Obama administration is right here.

Some Democrats criticized the proposal as too broad and too vague. They are right. Several critics I spoke to note that, in its current form, at least, it would not only do little to limit Obama right now, but could also leave the next president with enormous war-making latitude — whether he or she is a Democrat or a Republican.

To be clear, the proposal is merely an invitation to Congress to offer its own restrictions on Obama’s war-making authority. Still, it falls well short of what is needed, and it remains to be seen whether Congress can step in and do better.

Obama’s war authorization request is way too broad. And the damage has already been done. - The Washington Post

The most important thing to understand is the last paragraph because lots more to come.....I am hoping that anyone who enjoys current events becomes aware and comments or maybe they are just waiting for someone to TELL them how they feel...could be.

This is from the NY Times....

" In seeking authorization for his six-month-old military campaign against the Islamic State terrorist group, President Obama on Wednesday did something that few if any of his predecessors have done: He asked Congress to restrict the ability of the commander in chief to wage war against an overseas enemy.

The proposed legislation Mr. Obama sent to Capitol Hill would impose a three-year limit on American action that has been conducted largely from the air and, while allowing Special Operations commandos and other limited missions, would rule out sustained, large-scale ground combat. It would also finally repeal the expansive 2002 congressional measure that authorized President George W. Bush’s war in Iraq.

But even as Mr. Obama proposed some handcuffs on his power, he left behind the key to those shackles should he or his successor decide they are too confining. While his draft resolution would rescind the 2002 authority, it would leave in place a separate measure passed by Congress in 2001 authorizing the president to conduct a global war against Al Qaeda and its affiliates. With that still the law of the land, Mr. Obama and the next president would retain wide latitude to order military operations in the name of fighting terrorism."

My opinion...you will not be able to cop out and use the party line on opinions with this. This will split both parties and I tell you, THIS LEGISLATION WILL BE WITH US FOR AWHILE.
