Ends open-ended war-authority laws by placing automatic time limits on declarations of war and authorizations for use of military force: any authorization enacted after this law would automatically expire 10 years after enactment, and authorizations enacted before this law would terminate six months after enactment. The change forces future military authorizations to be temporary unless Congress acts to renew them.
