lowered the voting age to eighteen.
C
resulted in the removal of US troops from Vietnam.
D
prevented the president from committing US forces as he saw fit.

Explanation

The Gulf of Tonkin Resolution authorized President Johnson to use military force in Vietnam without a formal declaration of war. As opposition to the war grew, Congress repealed it in 1970 because the resolution had given the president too much power to commit U.S. forces. It did not itself remove U.S. troops or lower the voting age.
