carton253 Wrote "According to the War Resolution Act of 1973, the president has 48 hours to notify the Congress after committing troops to military action. If Congress doesn’t authorize the military action, then the president can keep the military force in the area of action for 90 days. (60 days for action, 30 days to withdraw)"

The part of the War Resolution Act of 1973 you quote does not apply or go into affect unless this section is complied with:

SEC. 2. (c)

The constitutional powers of the President as Commander-in-Chief to introduce United States Armed Forces into hostilities, or into situations where imminent involvement in hostilities is clearly indicated by the circumstances, are exercised only pursuant to (1) a declaration of war, (2) specific statutory authorization, or (3) a national emergency created by attack upon the United States, its territories or possessions, or its armed forces.

There is a whole lot more to the War Resolution Act than the part you chose to cherry-pick and repost...

But then again you probably knew that.
