Christopher, James A.; Baker, III (8 de julio de 2008). «The National War Powers Commission Report»(PDF)(en inglés). The Miller Center of Public Affairs at the University of Virginia. Archivado desde el original el 26 de noviembre de 2010. Consultado el 15 de diciembre de 2010. «No clear mechanism or requirement exists today for the president and Congress to consult. The War Powers Resolution of 1973 contains only vague consultation requirements. Instead, it relies on reporting requirements that, if triggered, begin the clock running for Congress to approve the particular armed conflict. By the terms of the Resolution, however, Congress need not act to disapprove the conflict; the cessation of all hostilities is required in 60 to 90 days merely if Congress fails to act. Many have criticized this aspect of the Resolution as unwise and unconstitutional, and no president in the past 35 years has filed a report "pursuant" to these triggering provisions.»
