How did the War Powers Act benefit the war effort?

Question

How did the War Powers Act benefit the war effort?

Which one is right

The act developed criteria for calling a cease-fire agreement between the United States and Japan if Japan surrendered

The act allowed Congress to broaden the president's power regarding military action with little intervention from Congress

The act took away the president's power to declare war for 90 days without consent of Congress.

Answer 1

The second statement is correct. The War Powers Act allowed Congress to have more oversight and control over the president's power regarding military action, preventing prolonged and unauthorized military engagements. This helped ensure that the war effort was more closely aligned with the intentions and priorities of the American people as represented by their elected representatives in Congress.
