Many have argued that the War Powers Resolution (1973) has actually made it easier for a president to justify engaging American troops in foreign operations. What evidence exists for or against this statement? Justify your answer.
What will be an ideal response?
: Students should discuss the purpose for and result of the War Powers Resolution and link presidential actions with recent military engagements. Even though the president must eventually get permission from Congress for U.S. military actions abroad, some experts believe it is actually easier for a president to commit troops to foreign operations without congressional approval (at least in the short term).
Students should use evidence to support their views on this topic.
