Q: In your own words, define the War Powers Act. Please help me It's worth 30 points.

The War Powers Act prevents the president from continuing hostilities undertaken in emergency or exigent circumstances without seeking and obtaining Congressional approval within certain time periods. Under the War Powers Act, the president must obtain Congressional approval for hostilities he or she commences within 60 or 90 days. Certainly, if the President seeks to go beyond that period of time, or the other limits of the War Powers Act, he or she should do so only pursuant to statutory authorization prescribed by the War Powers Act or a declaration of war.
