“The War Powers Act of 1973 is the law of the land. This consistent standard must be applied to all past, current, and future administrations when it comes to military hostilities abroad: 1) Congressional notification 48 hours prior to the commencement of hostilities; and 2) Congressional authorization and approval within 60 days of the commencement of hostilities. This is the law that has applied to past administrations, and it is the law that will apply to current and future administrations. This is the law and, until it is changed, it will be consistently applied and consistently enforced across all administrations and all conflicts.”
