War Powers Resolution Confuses TikTok Users Who Think It’s a Strategy Guide for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
In a bizarre turn of internet culture, the phrase “war powers resolution” is trending after a viral tweet mistakenly claimed the 1973 law gives gamers the authority to launch airstrikes in their living rooms. The irony? Every Gen Z-er who shared the clip also cited the Constitution as their source—without realizing the whole thing was a joke from a popular meme page. Now, congressional historians are fielding panicked DMs asking if playing Battlefield counts as an act of war. Meanwhile, actual lawmakers are debating the resolution’s relevance while teenagers argue it’s clearly a hidden perk in the new Call of Duty update.
