War powers act.
Congress overrode 7 Nixon vetoes. Two of these were: the "Clean Water Act" in 1972 and the "War Powers Act of 1973". Here are links to those bills: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clean_Water_Act http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_Powers_Act_of_1973
Richard Nixon vetoed the War Powers Act in 1973 because he believed it gave too much power to the Congress. He believed the president needed some war powers to be able to quickly protect the nation in the event of hostilities.

War Powers Act
The War Powers Act of 1941 was never repealed. It was followed up by the War Powers Act of 1943 and then limited by the War Powers Resolution of 1973. Should it be repealed? Yes. It clearly contradicts the text of the constitution that states that it is Congress' responsibility to enter hostilities.

War Powers Act
Congress passed the war powers act
It was passed primarily as an attack on the Nixon Administration over its quick action to aid Israel in the 1973 "Yom Kippur War" Arab invasion, and also as a misguided outgrowth of opposition to Nixon's more aggressive response to North Vietnamese aggression in Indochina.
