What is the purpose of the War Powers Intiative?

The War Powers Initiative aims to clarify and enhance the War Powers Resolution of 1973, which seeks to balance the President's authority to deploy military forces with Congress's constitutional power to declare war. The initiative encourages better communication and consultation between the executive and legislative branches regarding military engagements, ensuring that Congress is informed and has a role in decisions that could lead to armed conflict. By promoting transparency and accountability, the initiative seeks to prevent unilateral military actions by the President without congressional oversight.
