     SEC. 3. AUTHORIZATION FOR USE OF MILITARY FORCE AGAINST 
                   MILITIAS IN IRAQ.

       (a) In General.--In order to prevent any future acts of 
     international terrorism against the United States, the 
     President is authorized to use, as the President determines 
     to be necessary and appropriate, the Armed Forces against any 
     person or force that is engaged in hostilities against the 
     United States, the Armed Forces, or any other United States 
     personnel, including any person or force that is the 
     recipient of material, practical, or operational support from 
     a state sponsor of terrorism or a foreign terrorist 
     organization.
       (b) Presidential Determination.--In connection with the 
     exercise of the authority granted in subsection (a) to use 
     force, the President shall, prior to such exercise or as soon 
     thereafter as may be feasible, but not later than 48 hours 
     after exercising such authority, make available to the 
     Speaker of the House of Representatives and the President pro 
     tempore of the Senate a determination that acting pursuant to 
     such authorization is consistent with the United States and 
     other countries continuing to take the necessary actions 
     against foreign terrorist organizations and state sponsors of 
     terrorism.
       (c) War Powers Resolution Requirements.--
       (1) Specific statutory authorization.--Consistent with 
     section 8(a)(1) of the War Powers Resolution (50 U.S.C. 
     1547(a)(1)), Congress declares that this section is intended 
     to constitute specific statutory authorization within the

     U.S.C. 1544(b)).
       (2) Applicability of other requirements.--Nothing in this 
     section supersedes any requirement of the War Powers
