Why the 60 day war powers resolution deadline doesnt actually constrain presidents?

The 60 day war powers resolution deadline is like having a timer that might go off, but you can keep it from going off by just asking for more time.

Imagine you're playing a game with your friend, and the rule is: if you don't finish the level in 60 minutes, you lose. But instead of losing, you just say, "Can we have 15 more minutes?" And your friend says yes. That means the timer isn’t really stopping you, it’s just a reminder.

The 60-day rule is like that timer in the game. It's meant to push the president and Congress to make decisions faster, but they can always say, "We need more time!", and the other side usually agrees.

So even though the deadline seems important, it’s not actually stopping anyone from doing what they want. It's just a friendly nudge, like your friend saying, "Hey, you still got time!"
