The President may initiate limited military action without prior approval of Congress, as long as he reports to Congress, in writing, within 48 hours. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/50/1543 https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=(title:50%20section:1541%20edition:prelim https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2024/01/11/statement-from-president-joe-biden-on-coalition-strikes-in-houthi-controlled-areas-in-yemen/
