Evidence

U.S. Senators Mike Lee, Tim Kaine, Rand Paul, and Jeff Merkley introduced bipartisan legislation to repeal an obsolete 1957 Authorization for Use of Military Force; Lee said outdated authorizations should not remain as a blank check.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Official Senate release shows Lee taking concrete legislative action on war powers during the relevant Senate term. Search found no newer lookback-window official action showing enactment or reversal, so this supports delivery of the 'support and lead legislation' activity but not completion into law.

Senator Mike Lee introduced the Allied Burden Sharing Report Act and NATO Burden Sharing Report Act, requiring DOD reports on allied nations' defense contributions, annual defense spending, and NATO members' hard vs. soft power contributions for Ukraine.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Official Senate release documents Lee-led legislation on military spending oversight and constraining U.S. burdens through NATO/international alliance accountability. This materially supports the military-spending and international-institution portions of the commitment.

The promise was framed as supporting and leading legislation, not necessarily enacting a final statutory result. During the relevant federal Senate/campaign context, Lee introduced or co-led legislation on war powers by seeking repeal of an obsolete AUMF, and introduced NATO/allied burden-sharing reporting bills tied to military spending oversight and restraining international commitments. These are direct, same-term legislative actions matching the promised subject matter.
