Answer:

The Suez crisis is often portrayed as Britain's last fling of the imperial dice.

Still, there were powerful figures in the "establishment" - a phrase coined in the early 1950s - who could not accept that Britain was no longer a first-rate power. Their case, in the context of the times, was persuasive: we had nuclear arms, a permanent seat on the UN security council, and military forces in both hemispheres. We remained a trading nation, with a vital interest in the global free passage of goods.

But there was another, darker, motive for intervention in Egypt: the sense of moral and military superiority which had accreted in the centuries of imperial expansion. Though it may now seem quaint and self-serving, there was a widespread and genuine feeling that Britain had responsibilities in its diminishing empire, to protect its peoples from communism and other forms of demagoguery.

Much more potently, there was ingrained racism. When the revolutionaries in Cairo dared to suggest that they would take charge of the Suez canal, the naked prejudice of the imperial era bubbled to the surface. The Egyptians, after all, were among the original targets of the epithet, "westernised oriental gentlemen. They were the Wogs.

King Farouk, the ruler of Egypt, was forced into exile in mid-1952. A year later, a group of army officers formally took over the government which they already controlled. The titular head of the junta was General Mohammed Neguib. The real power behind the new throne was an ambitious and visionary young colonel who dreamed of reasserting the dignity and freedom of the Arab nation, with Egypt at the heart of the renaissance. His name was Gamal Abdel Nasser.

Nasser's first target was the continued British military presence in the Suez canal zone. A source of bitter resentment among many Egyptians, that presence was a symbol of British imperial dominance since the 1880s. In 1954, having established himself as uncontested leader of Egypt, Nasser negotiated a new treaty, under which British forces would leave within 20 months.

At first, the largely peaceful transition of power in Egypt was little noticed in a world beset by turmoil and revolution.

In 1994, President Clinton deployed troops to Haiti, without congressional approval, to fight against atrocities perpetrated by
Marta_Voda [28]

The correct answers to these open questions are the following.

A. Describe a power of the president used in the scenario.

The power that President Bill Clinton used in this scenario is his power as Commander-in-Chief- of the US military forces (Army, Navy, Air Force, Gaurd Cost).

B. Explain one way in which the War Powers Resolution might affect the scenario.

The War Powers Resolution might affect the above-mentioned scenario in that this act forces the President to inform Congress for a declaration of war if he wants to send military forces to a specific region. This legislation requires the President to inform Congress 48 hours before sending the military abroad.

C. Explain one reason why it is difficult for Congress to check the power of the president to commit troops despite the War Powers Resolution.

It could be difficult for Congress to check the power of the President because the executive could argue that this was not a declaration of war, but just a way to help Haiti by sending some military forces to fight against atrocities perpetrated by Haiti's former leaders and to oversee a transition to democracy. So he was not taking to declare war.
