I believe as the commander in chief, that the president is given the ability to deploy the military into conflicts across the world when he takes office. I disagree with the whole law it limits the presidents decision in case of a national emergency against a foreign country. We vote for a president and we as Americans should trust him enough to let him decide without congress approval to send the military to war in any foreign conflict.

What act passed in 1973 restricted the presidents powers to use troops in foreign conflicts?
War Powers Act
By law Who must the President notify when troops are sent to battle?
The War Powers Act requires the president to notify Congress within 48 hours of sending troops into a combat area. There are questions whether the Act is constitutional, and this has not been definitively answered by the Supreme Court.
What led to the War Powers Act being repealed?
The War Powers Act of 1941 was never repealed. It was followed up by the War Powers Act of 1943 and then limited by the War Powers Resolution of 1973. Should it be repealed? Yes. It clearly contradicts the text of the constitution that states that it is Congress' responsibility to enter hostilities.
Was the war powers act passed so that congress and the president act together in declaring any act of hostility?
yes:)
