Move "which Senators voted 'YES'" to "Passage"

The list of Senators who voted 'YES' (currently following the section "The Durbin Amendment") needs to be moved into section "Passage", but should it follow the bullet-point "82 (40%) of 209 Democratic Representatives voted for the resolution", or should it follow "29 of 50 Democratic senators (58%) voted for the resolution", and give those voting against a bullet-point of its own? Clark42 (talk) 13:49, 18 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

First, I would have loved to have seen such a list. The List of Congressional opponents of the Iraq War doesn't serve that purpose because it mixes the senators in with the rest of congress. Second, since 29 Democrats voted for and only 21 against, it would be easier to absorb the latter than the former. In the case of the Republicans all you need to know is that Lincoln Chaffee was the only Republican senator to vote against. Vaughan Pratt (talk) 03:13, 24 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Contents: "none licit", etc.

Regarding the use of "none licit statement" and "licit statement", and "none licit statement, requires proof positive" are these intended to be editors commentary or are they a legal term? This appears messy and nonsensical without context. SwimmingNaked (talk) 21:41, 10 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. They seem like nonsentical, incorrect commentary by an editor. "None licit" is not a standing expression nor even proper latin. I can only assume that he meant "non licet", i.e. "not permissible", but it is messy and I cannot see how it might have been meant. As no source, summary, or reasoning was given, I have reverted the edit. 91.66.245.59 (talk) 14:40, 22 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Repealed by the 2026 NDAA

This AUMF was repealed by the NDAA signed into law today. The article and info box should be updated to reflect that change in status. ~2025-41498-15 (talk) 00:47, 19 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
