1917Congress passed the Selective Service Act on May 18, 1917. The act, of course, required all able males between 18-25 to register for the military draft. This included citizens, along with non-citizen resident aliens.
The end of 1969 was the first draft lottery.
Oct 1940
The 3 Most Common Examples of the Military Draft in the history of the U.S.A are The Confederacy put in their draft in 1862 The Union instituted their draft in 1862 (mass riots ensued in New York and Boston) In Vietnam the military instituted a draft in early 1969
The draft has expiration dates. It expired and Nixon renewed it until he could pull out the remaining US troops.

Probably during WWII; it was constant because of the cold war...and didn't end until the Vietnam War.
In the US, you must be registered with the Selective Service from age 18 through age 25.

Registering with the Selective Service System is a civic duty required by U.S. law for 18-year-old male citizens. Failure to register can result in penalties such as loss of access to federal student loans and job training programs.
If you're 18, and you're either a citizen or permanent alien resident of the United States, you're required to enroll in the Selective Service Act. If a draft is reinstated, there is a possibility of you being drafted at that point.
Ever since the First Gulf War (1990), hardly a year goes by where we aren't inundated by rumors of re-instatement of a military draft. In December 2007, the Selective Service System announce that it plans to conduct a comprehensive test of the draft system sometime in 2009. This, coupled President Bush increasing our force size in Iraq, has caused a flurry of newspaper editorials, speculating about the possibility of a draft. The draft for the Iraq mission is not needing to be put in use.
The only requirement in the US is to register with the selective service. That's about it!
Draft started way back around the year 850 when English Lords and Kings could demand military service from serfs who farmed land for them.
In 1980, Congress reinstated the registration requirement (Proclamation 4771); all males born after Jan 1, 1960 needed to register. Since 0bama was born after 1960, he would have had to register in order to receive financial aid in college; but not until late July/early August 1980. This is more than a year after 0bama graduated from high school. Did he register? Probably. Did he register when he graduated from high school in '79 like he said? That can only be answered by the Selective Service Administration.
