Does Congress really have the power over war if the Executive branch and agencies can take action independently? (Explain)

History
1 answer:
Llana [10]3 years ago
8 0

The President doesn't have the authority to declare war against another country, as that authority is given to Congress.

Today, however, the President does have the tools to launch <u>different military actions within reason and for a certain amount of time</u>, but must get the approval of Congress if the conflict ends up lasting longer than 60-90 days.

Throughout history in the United States, the powers of the President in regards to the use of the military and its faculties to carry on military operations have been constantly contested and still continue to be.


The War Powers Resolution of 1973 was set to address specifically the powers of the President, but there have been questions on whether it's in conflict with the Constitution or if it has also been violated by Presidents since then.  We could say the adjustment of the War Powers Resolution to the Constitution is still an on-going process with a lot of merky areas surrounding it.

A good way to examplify this would be to look at the case of a president using his power regarding the military while respecting the authority of Congress, like President Theodore Roosevelt did regarding the Great White Fleet and it's world tour to display United States' naval power.

Congress contested that President Roosevelt didn't have the authority to do so for an extended period of time. Roosevelt didn't argue with them, instead just stated he had the power to send the navy out for a specific distance and a specific amount of time, and that it would be up to Congress to bring the fleet back home. Congress ended up approving the funding to do so.


Hope this helps out!

Please explain “Costs of a State Action Requirement” <br><br><br> I will give brainliest (:
enot [183]

Answer:

This requirement only applies when the law in question requires the government to have acted.  

This state action requirement extends to a number of actions.

According to the Supreme Court in Edmonson v. Leesville Concrete Co., Inc., 500 U.S. 614 (1991), "Although the conduct of private parties lies beyond the Constitution's scope in most instances, governmental authority may dominate an activity to such an extent that its participants must be deemed to act with the authority of the government and, as a result, be subject to constitutional constraints."

2. How do tourists and tourism affect Central America and the Caribbean?
sattari [20]

Answer:

Explanation:

On the positive side, tourism supports local economies because tourists spend money on attractions, lodging, and souvenirs. Also, foreign companies take away part of the money to their own countries and local workers are paid very little.

3.) Hurricanes can cause great damage and keep visitors away. They can harm people and destroy entire towns. They damage roads, farms, schools, and businesses.

4.) Climate is the main factor that affects biodiversity in tropical areas. It creates an environment that allows many different types of species to grow and flourish in these regions. People from other countries are attracted by this biodiversity. They want to come and see and they become eco-tourists.

5.) Ultimately, the environmental impact depends on the production practices of the system used by farmers. Some of the environmental issues that are related to agriculture are climate change, deforestation, dead zones, genetic engineering, irrigation problems, pollutants, soil degradation, and waste. if this is not right forgive me please
