Which legislation limited the influence of the president?

Answer
A
The Gulf of Tonkin Resolution
B
The Twenty-Sixth Amendment
C
The end of the draft
D
The War Powers Resolution

Explanation

The War Powers Resolution of 1973 limited the president’s ability to commit U.S. forces to military action without congressional involvement. It requires the president to notify Congress within 48 hours and generally withdraw forces within 60 days unless Congress authorizes their continued deployment. The Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, by contrast, expanded presidential authority during the Vietnam War.
