Assessments

partial same_term

Barrett promised to repeal open-ended war authorizations and replace them with defined goals and responsible limits. The evidence indicates the FY2026 NDAA became law and included repeal of the 1991 and 2002 AUMFs, which satisfies part of the promise during the same term. However, the record provided does not show a broader repeal of all open-ended war authorizations or enactment of replacement authorizations with defined goals and limits, so the promised outcome was only partially delivered.
