What kind of power is being expanded when the president sends troops into combat on executive orders without a war declaration?

When a president sends troops into combat without a formal declaration of war, it expands executive power, particularly in the realm of military and foreign affairs. This action often reflects an interpretation of the president's role as Commander-in-Chief, allowing for rapid military response without congressional approval. It raises concerns about the balance of power, as it can bypass the legislative authority granted to Congress in declaring war. This trend has implications for executive overreach and the erosion of checks and balances in the U.S. government.

How long can the president commit American forces to combat without congress' approval?

It takes a vote of Congress to declare war against another country, but Presidents have gotten around that by sending troops to war without declaring war. For example, the U. S. never declared war against North Vietnam, but over 58,000 American soldiers were killed in that war.


Did the south have the right to secede from the US?

The southern states certainly believed they had the right to secede, but most of the northern states disagreed. The question was answered by a sort of trial-by-combat called the American civil War.Because the Confederacy lost the war and the Union was preserved, it turned out that no state had the right to secede without Congressional approval.


How the Vietnam war first allowed an expansion of presidential power and later caused power to be limited?

Nixon's invasion (incursion) of Cambodia in '70 triggered the limitations. Unfortunately, this caused a disaster when the Laos invasion occurred the following year (1971-Operation Lam Son 719).In responding to a reported attack on U.S. warships, Congress passed a resolution giving President Lyndon Johnson authority to take "all necessary steps," including the use of American forces, in Vietnam. After the war dragged on for years, Congress decided that Johnson and President Richard Nixon had abused their war powers and passed a law to limit the president's use of forces in combat without congressional approval.


What is the War Powers Act?

It is an act of congress passed after the Vietnam War, over President Nixon's veto, and of dubious constitutionality, which seeks to define and limit the powers of the president of the United States to command the armed forces. The most important provision is that if the U.S. armed forces go into combat the president must get a resolution from congress authorizing the mission. If the resolution is not passed then the forces must be withdrawn from the combat within sixty days. Since it was passed no president has ever acknowledged its validity but, nonetheless, have complied with it.
