Abstract

The article reports that the National War Powers Commission has called on the next U.S. administration to replace the 1973 War Powers Resolution. The privately-sponsored commission has recommended the change to create more effective cooperation between the legislative and executive branches on when and how to deploy U.S. forces overseas. According to the author, the next U.S. president should seek the commission's passage as a symbolic first step in the process of reviving congressional-executive cooperation.
