The President is Commander-in-Chief of the military. I don't think Congress can dictate what he can and cannot do. It can only cut funds and impeach... and I seriously doubt it will do either.

In theory, what this ̶b̶i̶l̶l̶ measure does is to tell Congress that it has to declare war before we attack foreign countries. That's already in the Constitution and Congress ignores it so I don't see now the measure will change anything.

What Congress has actually done is to tell us who it thinks will be President at this time next year. Liberals wouldn't be putting new shackles on the President if they had any confidence a Democrat would be in charge next year.
