Clinton exceeds 60-day War Powers deadline in Kosovo without congressional authorization

NATO airstrikes against Yugoslavia pass the 60-day limit set by the War Powers Resolution without President Clinton seeking specific congressional authorization. Clinton argues the resolution's clock never started because the U.S. was part of a NATO operation, not unilaterally introducing forces into hostilities. The House votes 213-213 on whether to authorize the Kosovo campaign, effectively blocking authorization, then defeats a resolution to withdraw forces. No enforcement action results.
