On July 19th, 1973, the US Senate passes the War Powers Act, limiting the ability of the President to wage war without the approval of Congress.
A fruitless act, mostly for political theater, since most Presidents learn how to circumvent congress like an immigrant bypassing a useless wall. When there's a war to be had, a war there will be.
