bipartisan effort in the U.S. to restrict the president's war powers, but is it too late?

Local time on June 22, US Republican Senator Thomas Massie and Democratic Senator RoKanna jointly launched a resolution on war powers, aiming to control the executive branch and reaffirm congressional authority.

They believe that the United States is not facing an imminent threat. When all this happened, Congress was on recess, and members of Congress were not briefed.

Senate Minority Leader Schumer is initiating a vote aimed at restricting the president's war powers so that senators can vote on whether the United States should go to war with Iran.

After all the fighting has already started, they suddenly remembered to restrict the president's war powers. This time it won't work, let's wait until next time!

Before this military action against Iran, Trump had already approved it, but he had not issued an order to commence operations. Does the president need Congressional approval to issue an order to commence operations? If Congress is on recess, does he have to wait until they return from recess?
