Accountability for Endless Wars Act of 2025
This bill, S 804 (Accountability for Endless Wars Act of 2025), automatically ends existing and future U.S. military authorization laws. It requires all current authorizations for military force (like those for wars in Afghanistan or Iraq) to expire 6 months after the bill passes, and any new authorizations enacted after the bill becomes law to expire after 10 years. The bill directly affects Congress (which must renew these authorizations) and the military (which relies on them for operations), ending indefinite authorizations without requiring new congressional votes. It creates a concrete policy change by imposing fixed time limits on military force authorizations, replacing open-ended approvals with periodic renewal requirements.
