      War powers resolution allows the President to initiate limited military actions that can then be later affirmed or denied by Congress…

        War powers resolution is a defensive exception to the rule:

        The constitutional powers of the President as Commander-in-Chief to introduce United States Armed Forces into hostilities, or into situations where imminent involvement in hostilities is clearly indicated by the circumstances, are exercised only pursuant to (1) a declaration of war, (2) specific statutory authorization, or (3) a national emergency created by attack upon the United States, its territories or possessions, or its armed forces.
