The War Powers Resolution is a key piece of legislation that enacts the powers of Congress and the President regarding military actions. It was passed in 1973 to prevent a repeat of the Vietnam War and to ensure that the President does not unilaterally commit the United States to armed conflict without congressional approval. The resolution requires the President to notify Congress within 48 hours of deploying U.S. Armed Forces into hostilities. It forbids the use of military forces for more than 60 days without congressional authorization. The resolution has been a subject of debate. It has been used by both parties to challenge its constitutionality and to operate under the assumption that military necessity justifies acting first and consulting Congress later.
