Question

The ________ asserted that the president could send American troops into action abroad only in the event of a declaration of war or other statutory authorization by Congress, or if American troops were attacked or directly endangered.

Answer 1

Answer:

War Powers Resolution of 1973

Explanation:

The War Powers Act of 1973 was a resolution passed by Congress to draw a limitation on the ability of the President of the United States to take or drop any military action abroad. It was enacted to avoid long conflicts like the Vietnam War. The president needs to inform the Congress within 48 hours of any commitment made on the grounds of military actions.
