Resets the Clock on the War Powers Act

… is keeping forces in the region in case they are needed reserving his right at Commander in Chief to use them as needed. He also said today he considers the War Powers Act unconstitutional but is complying with it to avoid a conflict over that.

He is absolutely correct as the WPA has never been to SCOTUS and does significantly infringe on the President's Art. II powers. But until that is adjudicated it is best to play along with its requirements while not losing one bit of his freedom of maneuver as Commander in Chief.
Brilliant!
