https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_Powers_Resolution
just ignoring the constitutional ramifications; we live in a world that is highly reactionary to combat actions. Is it time to repeal this resolution, and make congress the only and final authority to declare war or ANY SORT of combat action against another country?
The War Powers Resolution requires the President notify Congress within 48 hours of committing armed forces to military action and forbids armed forces from remaining for more than 60 days, with a further 30-day withdrawal period, without a Congressional authorization for use of military force (AUMF) or a declaration of war by the United States. The resolution was passed by two-thirds of Congress, overriding apresidential veto.
