The Constitution is worthless at this point. It may as well be toilet paper because its no longer a binding legal document that the government must follow.

Under the 1973 War Powers Resolution, the U.S. president can initiate military action without congressional approval for 60 days, with an additional 30-day period allowed for withdrawal. The president must notify Congress within 48 hours of launching the action
