it limits the president to send troops in action for more than 60 days w/o express congressional authorization. Congress can call the president to account during this time and he can ask for an extension. He can appeal this. The war power act was enacted to limit the presidential power to act against congressional will, basically as a rouge president, which has really come about since WWII. Congress, even prior to the war powers act, has the power to formally declare war and fund wars. So the 60 days is sort of free funding, after that they pull the funding after all the hearings.

The people give the government its powers. This is one of the foundational principles of the U.S. Constitution:Limited Government: Since the people give government its power, government itself is limited to the power given to it by them. In other words, the US government does not derive its power from itself. It must follow its own laws and it can only act using powers given to it by the people.
Do you agree or disagree with the war powers act?
I believe as the commander in chief, that the president is given the ability to deploy the military into conflicts across the world when he takes office. I disagree with the whole law it limits the presidents decision in case of a national emergency against a foreign country. We vote for a president and we as Americans should trust him enough to let him decide without congress approval to send the military to war in any foreign conflict.
