Massie is not necessarily wrong.
Unfortunately the vast majority of his fellow “critters” have long passed off their Congressional, Constitutional Duties, generally to the Deep State 4th Branch.
Maybe he is bucking/pining for a seat on SCOTUS?
Every President has had this authority since Korea under article 2
The War Powers Resolution of 1973, also known as the War Powers Act, is a U.S. law designed to limit the president’s ability to commit the United States to armed conflict without congressional authorization. It was passed in response to the Vietnam War and aims to ensure a balance of power between the executive and legislative branches regarding military actions.
Key Provisions:
Reporting Requirement:
The act mandates that the president must report to Congress within 48 hours of introducing U.S. armed forces into hostilities or situations where imminent involvement in hostilities is likely.
Consultation Requirement:
It stipulates that the president should consult with Congress “in every possible instance” before introducing armed forces.
Time Limit:
The resolution specifies that forces cannot remain engaged in hostilities without congressional authorization for more than 60 days, with an additional 30 days allowed for withdrawal.
We aren’t even in the wee hours of engagement. We’ll within the 48 hours alloted to notify and greatly within the 60 to 90 days before withdrawal. Massie can suck an egg!
