Do you have a link to the text of the "Authourazation of Force?"
I think I remember something, but I want to check before I jump too far off my memory track.
You are thinking of the War Powers Act. Congress can at anytime cut funding to a military operation that it decides has run its course no matter what mechanism the war is being waged under. The executive has complete control as to resources and their use while war is being waged and congresses continued support. You folk need to get a better straw man than this "declaration of war" drivel. The truth is, Ron Paul would vote against a DOW just as he voted against the joint resolution. You would too. If anyones powers have been usurped since the advent of the War Powers Act it is the Executive not the Legislative.
