Summary:

Addresses differing Congressional views on whether continued use of military force against the Islamic State (IS, also known as ISIL or ISIS) requires congressional authorization, in light of U.S. military airstrikes and multiple deployments of U.S. troops to Iraq ordered by President Obama to provide security to diplomatic personnel and facilities, advise Iraqi security forces, and conduct intelligence gathering and reconnaissance. Examines authority to deploy troops and use military force against IS, possible elements of new authorizations for use of military force targeting IS, application of War Powers Resolution, and current legislative proposals
