there is a legal argument for the military force that the U.S. president has to consider during military operations. In the past, the United States has relied on one of two Authorizations for the Use of Military Force. Both remain on the books and provide the most plausible possible statutory legal basis for military strikes. The two authorizations help in regulating military operations involving terrorists. However, the more famous of the two is the 2001 AUMF. Furthermore, it currently provides the legal authority for U.S. military operations against al-Qaeda and related groups around the world.

CONGRESS’ ROLE IN REGULATING MILITARY OPERATIONS
Controversy continues over the appropriate role that Congress should play in regulating military operations against foreign entities. U.S. action against Libya reignited consideration of long-standing questions concerning the President’s constitutional authority to use military force. The legal argument for military force exists when it comes to the perpetrators of the September 11th attacks. There may be a renewed focus in the 113th Congress. That is on to what extent Congress has the constitutional authority to legislate limits. Moreover, the limits are on the President’s authority to conduct military operations in terrorist hotspots. For example, in Afghanistan, Yemen, and Somalia. The article helps in understanding the process of authorizing military force and regulating military operations.
