Senators questioned administration witnesses about proposals to repeal and replace the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF), probing risks that a new or revised AUMF could be misused or misunderstood abroad. Secretary Sherman and the acting legal adviser said revising the 2001 AUMF to a narrower framework is appropriate to preserve authorities against ISIS and the Taliban; no formal vote or legislative action occurred in the provided exchange.
