Congressional indignation is growing over Libya. Now that U.S. military operations have continued for more than 60 days without congressional authorization , some have accused President Obama of violating the War Powers Resolution. But Congress has little standing to accuse the president of copping out on Libya. The 1973 legislation designed the 60-day clock as a default mechanism that would kick in when Congress has not acted either to authorize or forbid a foreign military operation. President Richard Nixon vetoed the resolution largely because of the 60-day clock, arguing that it was unconstitutional because the only permissible way for Congress to tie the president’s hands is to pass legislation and present it for the president’s signature or veto. Nixon complained that “Congress is here attempting to increase its policy-making role through a provision which requires it to take absolutely no action at all.
