Congress passed the War Powers Resolution of 1973 in response to concerns over the executive branch's ability to engage in military conflicts without congressional approval, particularly following the Vietnam War. The resolution aimed to reassert congressional authority by requiring the President to consult with Congress before committing U.S. forces to hostilities and to withdraw troops after 60 days unless Congress declared war or authorized the action. This legislation reflected a desire to ensure a balance of power between the legislative and executive branches regarding military engagement.
