US Citizens facing the military draft.
Congress has the power to raise and support armies under Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution. This includes the authority to enact laws requiring citizens to serve in the military through mechanisms like the draft in times of national emergency.
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.
Lincoln and congress first orchestrated the nation's first military draft during the US Civil War (1861-1865). Vietnam (1861-1975) was the last military draft orchestrated by Nixon and congress.
