Nearly 20 years to the day the first bombs dropped on Baghdad in the U.S.-led invasion, the Senate has voted 67-28 to officially begin debate to repeal the congressional authorization that justified the war.
"I hope Republicans will work with us to keep this bill moving forward because AUMF repeal in the Senate is now a matter of when, not of if," Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y, said ahead of the vote to advance the legislation Tuesday.
