As usual, this must have been (D)ifferent
The U.S. military intervention in Libya (2011) lasted for over seven months without explicit congressional authorization, exceeding the 60-day limit set by the War Powers Resolution.
President Obama's administration argued that the, partly described as "limited" mission, did not constitute "hostilities" under the law, despite reaching the 60-day deadline on May 20, 2011.
Initial Engagement: The operation began on March 19, 2011.60-Day Deadline: By May 20, 2011, Congress had not authorized the action.
Congressional Response: On June 24, 2011, the House rejected a resolution that would have authorized the mission, though they also did not cut off funding.
Outcome: The mission lasted roughly 7 months (until October 2011) without ever receiving congressional approval.
