The proposal that I had was that any authorization of military force, of course, has to come to the Congress. That's per the constitution, but it has an automatic sunset of three years. And If an administration wants to continue fighting in a foreign war more than three years, that's fine. They've just got to make the case again to Congress. You can't just keep riding on those same authorities. And this would be prospective, not retrospective. So any new authorizations of military force would have a sunset of three years. (14:35–14:46)
