     Authorization for Use of Military Force (Public Law 107-40; 
     50 U.S.C. 1541 note) or the Authorization for Use of Military 
     Force Against Iraq Resolution of 2002 (Public Law 107-243; 50 
     U.S.C. 1541 note) authorize the use of military force against 
     the Islamic State in Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS).
       (b) It is the sense of Congress that the President, unless 
     acting out of self-defense or to address an imminent threat 
     to the United States, is not authorized to conduct military 
     operations against ISIS without explicit authorization for 
     the use of such force, and Congress should debate and pass 
     such an authorization.
