How did the War Powers Act of 1973 affect the power of the president?

The War Powers Act of 1973 required the president to notify Congress within 48 hours when introducing U.S. forces into hostilities or an imminent conflict. It also generally limited the deployment to 60 days, with a possible 30-day withdrawal period, unless Congress authorized continued action. So the correct choice is that the president had to inform Congress within forty-eight hours of a new troop commitment; the 60-day rule did not require the president’s approval.
