The military can only be funded for two years. But otherwise some things are indefenent. Laws would still be valid. But with nobody getting paid it would crumble, yes. Theres a reason why these things typically last weeks.

Two years at peace or at was?

War is peace now, hate is love, etc. Perpetual 1984.

Constitutionally, it doesn’t matter. Practically, the two year limit has been very generously interpreted.

It’s just the apportionment of funds. So the military can’t coast forever without congress giving it money.
