Download or read book The War Powers Resolution After Thirty Years written by Richard F. Grimmett and published by Nova Publishers. This book was released on 2005 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses and assesses the War Powers Resolution, its application since enactment in 1973, providing detailed background on a variety of cases where it was utilised, or issues of its applicability were raised. In the post-Cold War world, Presidents have continued to commit US Armed Forces into potential hostilities, sometimes without a specific authorisation from Congress. Thus the War Powers Resolution and its purposes continues to be a potential subject of controversy. On 7 June 1995 the House defeated, by a vote of 217-201, an amendment to repeal the central features of the War Powers Resolution that have been deemed unconstitutional by every President since the law's enactment in 1973. In 1999, after the President committed US military forces to action in Yugoslavia without congressional authorisation, Rep Tom Campbell used expedited procedures under the Resolution to force a debate and votes on US military action in Yugoslavia, and later sought, unsuccessfully, through a federal court suit to enforce Presidential compliance with the terms of the War Powers Resolution. The War Powers Resolution (P.L. 93-148) was passed over the veto of President Nixon on November 7, 1973, to provide procedures for Congress and the President to participate in decisions to send US Armed Forces into hostilities. Section 4(a)(1) requires the President to report to Congress any introduction of U.S. forces into hostilities or imminent hostilities. When such a report is submitted, or is required to be submitted, section 5(b) requires that the use of forces must be terminated within 60 to 90 days unless Congress authorises such use or extends the time period. Section 3 requires that the "President in every possible instance shall consult with Congress before introducing" US Armed Forces into hostilities or imminent hostilities. From 1975 through 2003, Presidents have submitted 111 reports as the result of the War Powers Resolution, but only one, the 1975 Mayaguez seizure, cited section 4(a)(1) which triggers the time limit, and in this case the military action was completed and US armed forces had disengaged from the area of conflict when the report was made. The reports submitted by the President since enactment of the War Powers Resolution cover a range of military activities from embassy evacuations to full scale combat military operations, such as the Persian Gulf conflict, and the 2003 war with Iraq, the intervention in Kosovo and the anti-terrorism actions in Afghanistan. In some instances U.S. Armed Forces have been used in hostile situations without formal reports to Congress under the War Powers Resolution. On one occasion, Congress exercised its authority to determine that the requirements of section 4(a)(1) became operative on August 29, 1983, through passage of the Multinational Force in Lebanon Resolution (P.L. 98-119). In 1991 and 2002, Congress authorised, by law, the use of military force against Iraq. In several instances neither the President, Congress, nor the courts have been willing to trigger the War Powers Resolution mechanism.

Book excerpt: This report discusses and assesses the War Powers Resolution and its application since enactment in 1973, providing detailed background on various cases in which it was used, as well as cases in which issues of its applicability were raised. It will be revised biannually. In the post-Cold War world, Presidents have continued to commit U.S. Armed Forces into potential hostilities, sometimes without a specific authorization from Congress.

Book excerpt: "This paper's focus is the 1973 War Powers Resolution enacted by the US Congress in response to the escalation of the Vietnam War and bombings in Cambodia. The War Powers Resolution requires the president to consult with Congress "in every possible instance" before deploying the military in hostilities, to notify Congress of troop commitments within 48 hours of deployment and to end military action within 60 days unless Congress declares war or grants an extension to US armed forces. The division of power, but most notably shared powers, to determine United States foreign policy has created inherent conflicts. The Framers of the US Constitution under Article I, Section 8, gave Congress the sole power to "declare war" and under Article II, Section 2, made the President "Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States." The shared war-making powers between the executive and legislative branches have led to various disagreements over military authority. Presidents often cite Article II, Section 2 of the Constitution as their authority to send soldiers into combat. Throughout history presidents have asserted what has been termed 'presidential prerogative.' This prerogative reached its pinnacle when President Harry Truman, shielded within the United Nations Security Council, bypassed Congress to go to 'war' in Korea. Since this turning point, presidential war- making power has expanded. The enactment of the 1973 War Powers Resolution has done little to curb the executive branch instead it has created unintended consequences. This paper will explore the shared war-making powers within the executive and legislative branches, the progressive expansion of the presidential prerogative 'paradigm shift' since 1945, the War 4 Powers Resolution, and finally how the United States is grappling with war powers within the 21st century context."--Abstract.
Download or read book The Powers of War and Peace written by John Yoo and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2008-09-15 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the September 11 attacks on the United States, the Bush administration has come under fire for its methods of combating terrorism. Waging war against al Qaeda has proven to be a legal quagmire, with critics claiming that the administration's response in Afghanistan and Iraq is unconstitutional. The war on terror—and, in a larger sense, the administration's decision to withdraw from the ABM Treaty and the Kyoto accords—has many wondering whether the constitutional framework for making foreign affairs decisions has been discarded by the present administration. John Yoo, formerly a lawyer in the Department of Justice, here makes the case for a completely new approach to understanding what the Constitution says about foreign affairs, particularly the powers of war and peace. Looking to American history, Yoo points out that from Truman and Korea to Clinton's intervention in Kosovo, American presidents have had to act decisively on the world stage without a declaration of war. They are able to do so, Yoo argues, because the Constitution grants the president, Congress, and the courts very different powers, requiring them to negotiate the country's foreign policy. Yoo roots his controversial analysis in a brilliant reconstruction of the original understanding of the foreign affairs power and supplements it with arguments based on constitutional text, structure, and history. Accessibly blending historical arguments with current policy debates, The Powers of War and Peace will no doubt be hotly debated. And while the questions it addresses are as old and fundamental as the Constitution itself, America's response to the September 11 attacks has renewed them with even greater force and urgency. “Can the president of the United States do whatever he likes in wartime without oversight from Congress or the courts? This year, the issue came to a head as the Bush administration struggled to maintain its aggressive approach to the detention and interrogation of suspected enemy combatants in the war on terrorism. But this was also the year that the administration’s claims about presidential supremacy received their most sustained intellectual defense [in] The Powers of War and Peace.”—Jeffrey Rosen, New York Times “Yoo’s theory promotes frank discussion of the national interest and makes it harder for politicians to parade policy conflicts as constitutional crises. Most important, Yoo’s approach offers a way to renew our political system’s democratic vigor.”—David B. Rivkin Jr. and Carlos Ramos-Mrosovsky, National Review
Download or read book Constitutional War Powers The Functional Relevance of the War Powers Debate written by and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The residence of Constitutional war powers has been defined by the functional execution of war powers, which has been almost entirely that of the executive, not by the interpretation of the original intent of the Framers of the Constitution. The debate on where the Constitutional authority to make war resides has revolved around three distinct interpretations of the Framers' original intent: the supremacy of the executive, the supremacy of the legislature, and the collective judgment of both in making war. The conclusion of World War II marked the last time that Congress formalized a relationship of hostility through a declaration of war. Since then, the introduction of U.S. Armed Forces into hostilities has been done entirely on the prerogatives of the executive. Every post-World War II President has entered U.S. Armed Forces into hostilities, often absent of Congressional participation and occasionally in direct contravention to Congressional desire. Each of these introductions of U.S. Armed Forces into hostilities furthered the war powers debate, which evolved to include the implication of U.S. participation in mutual security arrangements, such as the United Nations and NATO, and the success and resultant popularity of the military action in question. In an effort to protect its participation in war making decisions, Congress enacted legislation, first in the form of amendments to appropriations bills and later with the War Powers Act of 1973. This legislation, though, has had little effect on the functional supremacy of executive war powers. Each time that U.S. Armed Forces were introduced into hostilities following World War II, the Presidents all maintained their executive prerogative. As such, they defined through function that the decision to introduce U.S. Armed Forces into hostilities rests solely with the President, regardless of individual interpretations of the Framers' original intent.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report considers whether the historic prerogative of the U.S. President to commit U.S. armed forces to hostilities outside the United States is detrimental to the nation's best interest and whether such action by the President is a proper and necessary exercise of his responsibilities as Chief Executive and Commander-in-Chief. An attempt to reverse the trend of executive prerogative is demonstrated by the War Powers Resolution of 1973. The 'Act' is examined to see whether it is more political than operational. Historical examples leading up to the Act are discussed. Committee hearings, judicial decisions, and views of proponents and opponents of limiting executive war powers were considered. Although the Act is intended to restore a balance between the war powers of the President and Congress, there is question as to its constitutionality. Perhaps more significantly, a literal application of the Act's provisions to the current world situation could be seriously detrimental to the U.S. vital interests.

Book excerpt: Under the Constitution, the war powers are divided between Congress and the President. Among other relevant grants, Congress has the power to declare war and raise and support the armed forces) while the President is Commander-in-Chief. It is generally agreed that the Commander-in-Chief role gives the President power to utilize the armed forces to repel attacks against the United States, but there has long been controversy over whether he is constitutionally authorized to send forces into hostile situations abroad without a declaration of war or other congressional authorization. This book discusses and assesses the War Powers Resolution and its application since enactment in 1973, providing detailed background on various cases in which it was used, as well as cases in which issues of its applicability were raised. It focuses on the several proposals for a new AUMF specifically targeting the Islamic State made during the 113th and 114th Congresses. It includes a brief review of existing authorities and AUMFs, as well as a discussion of issues related to various provisions included in existing and proposed AUMFs that both authorize and limit presidential use of military force. Appendices provide a comparative analysis of similar provisions in new AUMFs proposed in the 113th and 114th Congresses.
