The purpose of the War Powers Resolution is to limit the President's ability to send troops into combat.
The purpose of the War Powers Resolution is to limit the President's ability to send troops into combat. This resolution was passed by the United States Congress in 1973, in response to concerns about the executive branch's ability to unilaterally involve the country in military conflicts without sufficient oversight from Congress. The War Powers Resolution requires the President to consult with Congress and obtain authorization if military forces are to be sent into action abroad, except in cases of a national emergency or a congressionally declared war. By imposing these limitations, the resolution aims to ensure that decisions to commit U.S. forces to war are made through a collaborative process involving both the legislative and executive branches of government.
