America passes War Powers Act

Following a vote by standing proclamation in the Senate chamber, President the American leader immediately signed the War Powers Act into law. The Act gives the office of the President far greater discretion in the use of the military than previously possible. The President may now deploy troops to defend American interests whenever and wherever he deems it necessary, for an unlimited duration. While President the American leader claimed that these new powers would only be used under the most dire of circumstances, sources inside the State department claim that it is merely the first step in a large-scale program of reshaping the global balance of power.
