Under the Constitution, the war powers are divided between Congress
and the President. Among other relevant grants, Congress has the
power to declare war and raise and support the armed forces) while
the President is Commander-in-Chief. It is generally agreed that
the Commander-in-Chief role gives the President power to utilize
the armed forces to repel attacks against the United States, but
there has long been controversy over whether he is constitutionally
authorized to send forces into hostile situations abroad without a
declaration of war or other congressional authorization. This book
discusses and assesses the War Powers Resolution and its
application since enactment in 1973, providing detailed background
on various cases in which it was used, as well as cases in which
issues of its applicability were raised. It focuses on the several
proposals for a new AUMF specifically targeting the Islamic State
made during the 113th and 114th Congresses. It includes a brief
review of existing authorities and AUMFs, as well as a discussion
of issues related to various provisions included in existing and
proposed AUMFs that both authorize and limit presidential use of
military force. Appendices provide a comparative analysis of
similar provisions in new AUMFs proposed in the 113th and 114th
Congresses.
