(b) Exception The prohibition under subsection (a) shall not apply to a use of military force that is consistent with section 2(c) of the War Powers Resolution. (c) Rule of construction Nothing in this section may be construed— (1) to prevent the President from using necessary and appropriate force to defend United States allies and partners if Congress enacts specific statutory authorization for such use of force consistent with the requirements of the War Powers Resolution ( 50 U.S.C. 1541 et seq.); (2) to relieve the executive branch of restrictions on the use of force, reporting, or consultation requirements set forth in the War Powers Resolution ( 50 U.S.C. 1541 et seq.); or (3) to authorize the use of military force. 4.
