Congressional Authorization for Use of Force

If the President acts in good faith and deploys United States troops into a foreign nation, Congress, by a majority vote in each chamber, may either declare war or veto the President’s decision within 30 days of the introduction of such troops. In the latter, the President must withdraw the troops immediately.
In the event that congress is not in active session, an emergency session shall be called. If the congress does not act within 30 days, the President may deploy troops to foreign nations without their consent. If the United States is required by existing laws, statutes, treaties, or agreements with foreign powers to deploy troops or other military assets, the President shall not need the consent of Congress to deploy troops.
