War powers resolutions are one of the few ways for Democrats — as well as Republicans concerned Trump has not come to Congress — to push back.

The War Powers Resolution, which Congress passed in 1973 over President Richard M. Nixon’s veto in response to the Vietnam War, lets a single member of Congress force a vote on withdrawing U.S. forces from a conflict or blocking strikes when hostilities are imminent. But the hurdles to enacting such resolutions are high because the Supreme Court ruled in 1983 that presidents could veto them, which Congress can override only with a two-thirds majority in each chamber. No war powers resolution has ever overcome a veto.
