      "summary": "On October 16, 2002, the President signed  H.J.Res. 114  into law as Public Law 107-243\n(116 Stat. 1498), wherein Congress authorized the President to use United States Armed Forces\nagainst Iraq. This report presents a side-by-side comparison of Public Law 107-243 and selected\nalternative legislative proposals considered in 107th Congress. \n   P.L. 107-243  [ H.J.Res. 114 , Hastert-Gephardt], the Spratt amendment,\n S.J.Res. 45  [Daschle-Lott], a draft proposal by Senators Biden and Lugar\n[Biden-Lugar], and a draft proposal by Senator Levin were central to the debates waged in the House\nand Senate in early October 2002.  S.J.Res. 46  [Lieberman] is not explicitly included\nhere because of its substantial similarity to  H.J.Res. 114 . Each would have authorized\nthe President to use U.S. Armed Forces against Iraq. Each, however, presented different reasons for\nthe authorization, conditions and thresholds to be met, congressional consultation requirements, and\nreporting requirements.",
