... The WPA is probably unconstitutional. If the president is vested with authority by the Constitution, that authority may not be limited by a mere statute. The president’s Article II powers as commander-in-chief include the power to use military force when the United States or its vital interests are threatened.
Indeed, during the Civil War, the Supreme Court held in the Prize Cases that, when the United States is under attack, the president has not merely the constitutional power but the duty to use whatever force is necessary to repel the attack, regardless of whether Congress has permitted the use of force.
Moreover, the WPA would enable Congress to direct the president to withdraw forces by a joint resolution; but the Supreme Court has held that such legislative vetoes are unconstitutional – law can only be enacted when the president signs legislation passed by both houses (unless there is a veto override, as there was with the WPA)....
Resolutions of Congress do not have the force of law.
To have the force of law, both houses must pass and...
THE POTUS MUST SIGN IT.
