    USA allows the deployment of forces with the War Powers Resolution of 1973

    Limitations require Congress to be notified and that Congress approves an authorized use of force extension beyond 60 days

    No President has followed this procedure in the past 23~ active interventions including the 4 wars that the United States has deployed forces in to this day:

    Syria Niger Somalia Yemen

    I think you are right about the withdrawing though. I found that this is not the first time Congress has put a treaty withdrawal restriction in a defense authorization bill and it has been ignored in the past with Open Skies.

    Office of Legal counsel opinion says Congress does not have power outside of the initial agreement and rules within a given treaty.

    So even though they put this into a bill, if a future President pushes back against it, they likely will win without much trouble at all.
