The War Powers Resolution requires the president to notify Congress within 48 hours of committing armed forces to military action and forbids armed forces from remaining for more than 60 days, with a further 30-day withdrawal period, without congressional authorization for use of military force (AUMF) or a declaration of war by the United States. The resolution was passed by two-thirds each of the House and Senate, overriding the
veto of President
Richard Nixon.
It has been alleged that the War Powers Resolution has been violated in the past, however, Congress has disapproved all such incidents, and no allegations have resulted in successful legal actions taken against a president.
