This resolution calls on New Hampshire's congressional delegation to support the repeal of the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF), which was enacted in response to the September 11 terrorist attacks. The resolution highlights that the AUMF has been used by various administrations over the past two decades to justify military actions in at least 22 countries, far exceeding its original intent of targeting al-Qaeda and associated forces. It argues that the primary targets of the AUMF have been eliminated, rendering the authorization largely obsolete, and emphasizes that the lack of a sunset provision allows for its indefinite use, undermining Congress's constitutional authority to declare war.

The resolution reflects the values of the people of New Hampshire, who prioritize peace, constitutional governance, and responsible military engagement. It asserts that repealing the 2001 AUMF would reaffirm Congress's role in authorizing military actions, ensuring that such actions align with current national security needs and requiring legislative approval for future conflicts. The resolution urges New Hampshire's federal delegation, including Senators and Representatives, to actively support and co-sponsor legislation aimed at repealing the AUMF, and it mandates that copies of the resolution be sent to key government officials.
