Best Answer

Pros: Creates a sort of Checks and Balancing system for the president

Keeps the president from going into war without Congress' permission unless America is under attack or there is a sever threat, but the troop cannot remain more than 60 days without authorization by Congress.

Con: goes against the Constitution's appointment of the President as Commander in Chief. Also, impinges upon Congress' sole power to declare war.
