metastasizing outside of syria and iraq and the proposal provides flexibility with one exception. the proposed aumf does not authorize long-term large scale offensive ground combat operations like those we conducted in iraq and afghanistan. because our strategy does not call for them. instead local forces must provide the enduring presence needed for an enduring victory against isil. and fourth and finally, the proposed aumf expires in three years. i cannot tell you that our campaign to defeat isil would be completed in three years. i understand the reason for the proposed sunset provision. it derives from the important principle stemming from the constitution that makes the grave matter of enacting an authorization for use of military force a shared
