President Johnson held the belief that former US President, Harry Truman had the authority to deploy US troops abroad to protect American interests. He had defended Truman's decision to do this in 1950. Johnson did believe however, that Truman made a mistake by not requesting a congressional resolution to do so. What is of extreme importance in this was that Johnson believed that Truman made a political mistake, it was not a constitutional error.
