The United States Senate unanimously endorsed the repeal of the 2002 Iraq war resolution, marking a pivotal shift in Congressional authority over military actions and aiming to prevent future military overreach.
- The United States Senate voted via a Voice vote to repeal the 2002 Iraq War resolution, a significant legislative action following the Houses earlier support for the repeal.
- Senators Tim Kaine and Todd Young, representing the Democratic Party (United States) and Republican Party (United States) respectively, played key roles in advocating for this repeal in Virginia.

Why It Matters
