Conflicts between Congress and the President over war powers have their origin in the United States Constitution. In 1973, Congr
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

According to the Constitution, Congress has the right to declare war (Article I, paragraph 8) and the President is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces (Article II, paragraph 2). It is therefore unclear to what extent the President, as Commander-in-Chief, has the right to deploy armed forces in armed conflicts without Congress approval.

The background to the War Powers Resolution was the unclear constitutional situation regarding the use of armed forces in the Korean and Vietnam War. In the case of the Korean War, there was no formal declaration of war or Congress resolution to approve the operation. After a Vietnamese attack on an American speedboat in the Gulf of Tonkin in 1964, Congress passed a resolution that supported the use of armed forces in Vietnam. However, it was not a formal declaration of war. In 1973, the War powers resolution was passed by Congress with a two-thirds majority, after a veto by President Nixon. The aim was to ensure the future participation of the Congress in the use of armed forces.

1.) What is colonialism and why did European powers colonize the pacific northwest?
MaRussiya [10]

1. Colonialism is a type of foreign policy where a country exercises political control over another country by occupying it with its settlers and exploiting the economic gain that comes with it.

2. The Lewis and Clark expedition was very important because it marked the first expedition towards the western half of the United States. At the end of this expedition many new animals, regions, and people were discovered, this eventually led to the westward expansion of the United States to settle in these vast new regions.

3. The Nootka Sound Controversy was a major dispute that almost caused Spain and Great Britain to go to war. The dispute involved claims of who owned the pacific northwest.

Spain claimed to have possession but Great Britain threatened war over such claim. And thus, because of Spain's lack of military power Spain gave into Great Britain's demands, this resulted in the Nootka Sound Convention which stated that each country had the freedom to navigate the Pacific Northwest and be able to install settlements on unoccupied land.
