When Congress enacted the War Powers Resolution in November 1973, overriding President Nixon's veto by the constitutionally required two-thirds majority in each chamber, its intention was historically legible. The Vietnam War had consumed more than 58,000 American lives, prosecuted for years without a formal declaration of war.

Congress intended that no president would again commit American forces to armed conflict without the collective judgment of the legislative branch bearing on the decision.
