Question

How did the War Powers Act of 1973 affect the power of the president?
It gave the president the unlimited right to commit US forces to action as necessary.
It required the president’s approval for US forces to remain in a foreign war longer than sixty days.
It limited the president’s ability to raise taxes to fund a war and social programs simultaneously.
It required the president to inform Congress within forty-eight hours of any new troop commitment.

Answer 1

"It required the president to inform Congress within forty-eight hours of any new troop commitment."

The War Powers Resolution (1973) limits the president’s ability to commit U.S. forces by requiring a 48-hour notification to Congress and generally forbidding them from remaining more than 60 days (plus a 30-day withdrawal period) without congressional authorization or a declaration of war.
