The War Powers Act of 1973, also known as the War Powers Resolution, was enacted to limit the U.S. President's ability to engage military forces without congressional approval. It requires the President to notify Congress within 48 hours of deploying troops and limits military engagement to 60 days without congressional authorization or a declaration of war. Additionally, Congress can intervene to withdraw forces by passing a concurrent resolution. The Act aims to ensure that both branches of government share in decisions related to military action.
