It is time for War Powers Act to be revised. Obama can just decide he wants to go to war with anyone all by his lonesome.

No troops will be introduced into any foreign nation without the approval of House and Senate select committees.

But doesn’t the president have power, as commander in chief, to mobilize US forces anywhere, then get approval after the fact, per the War Powers Act?
