War powers act

The Constitution grants congress the power to declare war. Sounds simple enough but there are complications. If the President went to congress asking permission to go to war there would be many questions. When are we going, where are we going, how many troops will be needed, what is the objective, what happens when the war is over, how much will it cost in lives and dollars. These would just be the beginning questions. There would be some in congress who would want to know intimate details about each battle plan and all of this would be leaked to the public and by extension to the enemy. As each bit of information is made public the lives of the military people will be further endangered. The war powers act was set up to avoid these problems but it only gives the President about 100 days after which he must go to congress. It may be necessary to revise this act.
