War Powers Act (USA, 1973) A US law designed to constrain the President in his war-making powers independent of
Congress. It followed upon public outcry after the Gulf of
Tonkin incident, and the subsequent actions of US Presidents. Enacted over the veto of President
Nixon, it provides that Congress should be informed within 48 hours of any overseas military activity. Congress should endorse any military action overseas by the USA within 60 days, after which it may order withdrawal without the option of a presidential veto.
