The administration has claimed that the War Powers Law does not apply to President Trump’s boat strikes, deepening the debate over the legal boundaries of presidential military authority. This position reinforces the idea that the Vietnam-era law, which limits congressionally unauthorized deployments in hostilities to 60 days, does not extend to airstrike campaigns. The law, enacted during the Vietnam era, restricts the duration of congressionally unauthorized deployments in hostilities to 60 days. However, the administration’s position suggests that airstrike campaigns are not subject to these restrictions, raising questions about the extent of executive power in military matters.
