War Powers Resolution: United States
built 656 days ago
The Constitution Project today announced the formation of a distinguished group of experts into a blue-ribbon, bipartisan committee on war powers. The War Powers Initiative’s goal is to analyze, and make recommendations pursuant to, the U.S. government’s constitutional and statutory authority to deploy armed forces abroad.
While some have questioned the constitutionality of the War Powers Act, it is very precise in the conditions it sets out for military deployments. Section 5 (b) puts a time limit of no longer than 90 days for the use of United States Armed Forces in a foreign nation without a declaration of war or a joint resolution of Congress otherwise authorizing the use of force.
