Summary
The War Powers Resolution allows the president up to 60 days of defensive latitude in introducing U.S. forces into hostilities ; it is not a blank check for open-ended war. Cato's Molly Nixon and Katherine Thompson examine what the law actually says, how Trump's strikes on Iran test its limits, and whether the looming 60-day deadline could force Congress to act.
