Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

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 a Congressional authorization for use of military force or a declaration of war by the United States. It does not require the president to consult with Congress before introducing troops into hostile situations, but it does mandate notification after such action has been taken.
