In 1953, the Eisenhower administration was in the process of organizing a world wide system of military bases. Secretary of State, Dulles asked of Congress if they wished to call agreements made to open bases a "treaty" of sorts. He was giving Congress the right to have a say on when and where US Military bases could be built.

Yes, the power to have a military draft is considered an implied power of Congress. While the U.S. Constitution explicitly grants Congress the authority to raise and support armies (Article I, Section 8), the ability to enact a draft is derived from this power as a necessary means to fulfill that responsibility. The Supreme Court has upheld this interpretation, affirming that Congress can implement a draft to ensure national defense and military readiness.
