war powers resolution
the present-day operational command of the armed forces is delegated to the department of defense and is normally exercised through the secretary of defense. the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff and the combatant commands assist with the operation as outlined in the presidentially approved unified command plan (ucp). the framers of the constitution took care to limit the president's powers regarding the military; alexander hamilton explained this in federalist no. 69: pursuant to the war powers resolution, congress must authorize any troop deployments longer than 60 days, although that process relies on triggering mechanisms that have never been employed, rendering it ineffectual. additionally, congress provides a check to presidential military power through its control over military spending and regulation. presidents have historically initiated the process for going to war, but critics have charged that there have been several conflicts in which presidents did not get official declarations, including theodore roosevelt's military move into panama in 1903, the korean war, the vietnam war, and the invasions of grenada in 1983 and panama in 1989.
