Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, on Tuesday told a group of reporters, according to reports, &#8220;there&#8217;s no reason&#8221; to pass such a measure until Obama &#8220;has a strategy that makes sense&#8221; to fight the Islamic State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The duo&#8217;s comments come a couple weeks after Defense News reported the AUMF had stalled in the House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;We haven&#8217;t heard much to indicate that this is moving,&#8221; one House Democratic aide involved in national security matters said <span class=\"rte rte-comment\">earlier <\/span>this month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I&#8217;m not picking up on any momentum in the House,&#8221; said Roger Zakheim, a former senior House Armed Services Committee counsel who has ties to key congressional offices. &#8220;It really appears the president&#8217;s proposal is dead.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"510\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/635884624682850841-05-june-2012-prestojpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13597\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/635884624682850841-05-june-2012-prestojpg.jpg 680w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/635884624682850841-05-june-2012-prestojpg.jpg?resize=300,225 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Obama&#8217;s controversial draft measure appears deceased in the lower chamber. But senators are trying to craft a revised version that would be in line with the Islamic State mission described by the White House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;We&#8217;re trading ideas to try to find a formulation of the mission close to what the president proposed that would engender bipartisan support,&#8221; Senate Foreign Relations Committee member Tim Kaine, D-Va., told reporters Wednesday. &#8220;We think that that&#8217;s really important.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Crafting a new AUMF once appeared to be a priority for the Foreign Relations Committee. But differences caused it to take a backseat to other measures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One is a bill the panel approved unanimously on Tuesday that would establish a framework for Congress to review any nuclear pact with Iran, and possibly eventually act on congressionally created sanctions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Asked why work on the Iran bill seemed to delay work on the force-authorization measure, Kaine replied: &#8220;It&#8217;s hard to do two things so high burn at once.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But Kaine, whom Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Bob Corker, R-Tenn., and other members credit with helping reach a compromise Iran deal, says the panel plans to return to the AUMF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"510\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/635884624682850841-05-june-2012-prestojpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13597\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/635884624682850841-05-june-2012-prestojpg.jpg 680w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/635884624682850841-05-june-2012-prestojpg.jpg?resize=300,225 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;We felt like we&#8217;ll do that,&#8221; he said, &#8220;then move to this.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kaine responded to a question about whether McCarthy&#8217;s comments mean a new AUMF won&#8217;t pass by saying: &#8220;Oh, no. Not at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I&#8217;ve always assumed if it was going to happen, it was going to happen in the Senate and then go to the House,&#8221; Kaine said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">House Armed Services Committee Chairman Mac Thornberry, R-Texas, told reporters on March 16 that &#8220;not a lot of people&#8221; in the House &#8220;think the president&#8217;s proposal makes much sense.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So lawmakers are &#8220;asking is there a proposal that could pass,&#8221; Thornberry said. &#8220;Members are turning their minds toward that.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333; background-color: #ffffff;\">Email: <\/span><a href=\"mailto:jbennett@defensenews.com\" style=\"color: #1990e5;\">jbennett@defensenews.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333; background-color: #ffffff;\">Twitter: <\/span><span style=\"color: #5b9bd5;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BennettJohnT\" style=\"color: #1990e5;\" title=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BennettJohnT\">@BennettJohnT<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A House leader&#8217;s opposition to a White House force-authorization resolution will not derail work on a new measure in the Senate, says a key Foreign Relations Committee member.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":83878,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":8,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":[]},"categories":[8,33,19],"tags":[],"coauthors":[1090],"class_list":["post-43546","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-congress","category-home","category-pentagon"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"IL7QJRPDTNG7BA7JJSM6FSP4NI","arc_canonical_url":"\/congress\/2015\/04\/15\/kaine-declares-aumf-still-alive-in-senate\/","remove_feature_photo":false,"is_sponsored":false,"subtype":"","redirect_url":"","disable_inline_ads":false,"native_logo_pretext":"Presented By:"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v28.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Kaine Declares AUMF Still Alive in Senate - Defense News<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"A House leader&#039;s opposition to a White House force-authorization resolution will not derail work on a new measure in the Senate, says a key Foreign Relations Committee member.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Kaine Declares AUMF Still Alive in Senate\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"A House leader&#039;s opposition to a White House force-authorization resolution will not derail work on a new measure in the Senate, says a key Foreign Relations Committee member.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/defensenews\/congress\/2015\/04\/15\/kaine-declares-aumf-still-alive-in-senate\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Defense News\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2015-04-15T17:55:12+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-08-07T23:12:54+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"John T.
