@emptywheel Glad he gave you the hat tip. Now why is it that Obama wouldn't repeal? Assoc forces clause?

@joanneleon@emptywheel "could probably come in handy if he, or a future pres, wanted to send troops in." I think that's it-just in case. -
@reftpt@emptywheel Bad memory here (Lyme brain) but I recall something about "associated forces" clause in one AUMF but not the other -
@joanneleon That's Afghan. But there are more MENTIONS of terrorism in Iraq AUMF than in Afghan.@reftpt -
@emptywheel@joanneleon I've always had the sense that they can "do" anything they really want but the AUMF just makes it a little easier? -
@reftpt They would have a harder time convincing certain judges to rubber stamp their stuff.@joanneleon
