In 2015 , Schiff supported the Saudi Arabian-led intervention in Yemen , saying : " The military action by Saudi Arabia and its partners was necessitated by the illegal action of the Houthi rebels and their Iranian backers . ... But ultimately , a negotiated end to this crisis is the only way to restore order in Yemen and shrink the space for terrorism . " After the President 's speech at the National Defense University examining the U.S. war powers during the War on Terror , Schiff introduced bipartisan legislation to repeal the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Terrorists , the legislation passed in the days after the September 11 attacks to combat Al Qaeda , because he felt that " the current AUMF is outdated and straining at the edges to justify the use of force outside the war theater . " The bill , introduced with Rep. Tom Rooney ( R-FL ) , was intended to sunset . In addition to his legislation , Schiff has been a forceful proponent of debating and voting on a new war authorization against ISIS
