Question 20 • S1S-OC: W. Hist/Geo/Cult 10B (E1172 - AG)

How did the War Powers Resolution of 1973 affect the power of the US president?

Answer

It required the president’s approval for US forces to remain in a foreign war for longer than sixty days.

It required the president to inform Congress within forty-eight hours of the details of any troop commitment.

It limited the president’s ability to raise taxes to fund both a war effort and social programs.

It gave the president the unlimited right to commit US forces to action as he or she saw fit.

Explanation

The War Powers Resolution required the president to notify Congress within 48 hours when U.S. forces were introduced into hostilities or an imminent conflict. It also generally required those forces to be withdrawn within 60 days unless Congress authorized their continued use. Choice B correctly describes the notification requirement; choice A incorrectly says the president’s approval was required.
