Under what conditions does the president have the power to order American troops into battle without congressional approval?
Under the Constitution, the president is commander in chief of all the armed forces. The chain of command runs from him to the secretary of defense and then to the specific commands in the military. The president, under this power, can deploy the armed forces to protect the nation if it is under attack, without first asking Congress to declare war. Since September 11, the military power of the President has increased. Congress passed the War Power Resolution which gives the President the power to retaliate against any person, organization, or state which the President considers a terrorist threat, and also the power to use military force against a foreign nation suspected of supporting terrorist groups. The President can deploy a preemptive use of military force against terrorist organizations whether they can be linked to a specific terrorist act or not. Addition(Marine Lessons): All of the United States Military Services' chain of command leads to Congress, but The United States Marines fall directly under the President of the United States. The president can literally walk up to a Marine and order him to do things that undermine his commanding generals. This makes it very important who the president is for Marines. I personally enlisted under Bush (jr.), and left the Marines after 5 1/2 years under Obama. The Marines do not need congressional approval to be sent somewhere for short periods of time.

What were the nullification controversies of the early republic?
The nullification controversies of the early republic revolved around the idea that states could invalidate federal laws they deemed unconstitutional. This dispute was notably highlighted by the Nullification Crisis of the 1830s, where South Carolina, led by John C. Calhoun, attempted to nullify federal tariffs. The federal government, under President Andrew Jackson, strongly opposed this notion, asserting the supremacy of federal law. Ultimately, the crisis was resolved through a compromise tariff and the affirmation of federal authority, marking a significant moment in the ongoing debate over states' rights versus federal power.
What was John Calhoun's role in the nullification crisis?
John Calhoun played a pivotal role in the nullification crisis as a strong advocate for states' rights and the doctrine of nullification. He argued that states had the right to invalidate federal laws they deemed unconstitutional, particularly opposing tariffs that favored Northern interests at the expense of the South. As Vice President under Andrew Jackson, Calhoun's disagreements with Jackson over these issues led to his resignation in 1832. His defense of South Carolina's actions during the crisis highlighted the deep sectional tensions in the United States.
