New Military Force Rules: Congressional Oversight and Specific Threats

The President can only use force against specific terrorist groups: Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan, Islamic State Khorasan in Afghanistan, and Islamic State of Iraq and Syria.
Mandates regular reporting to Congress on all military actions, including civilian casualties and costs.
New authorities expire after four years unless reauthorized by Congress, increasing oversight.
