Read the link provided below I have provided for you on the authorizations for use of force and answer the following questions. Write in your own words, quoting where appropriate. You may use AI on question 4 but not on the rest of the assignment.
- What reason did President Johnson give to get involved in Vietnam in 1964? Look at Section 2: What was Johnson authorized to do?
- Look at Public Law 107-40 107th Congress Joint Resolution. Why was this passed? Look at Section 2: What was President Bush authorized to do? What Resolution authorized U.S. action in Iraq?
- Read S.J. Res. 116 document submitted March 5, 2026. Under this Resolution is President Trump authorized to go to war with Iran? Write your answer in a short paragraph and provide 1 quote from the source to support your claim.
- Use ChatGPT or another AI program to search demographics of soldiers conscripted in Vietnam. Provide the name and weblink of one scholarly site where you obtained your information. In a few sentences describe the type of man who was drafted in the Vietnam era. Did race and socioeconomic class play a role in this war?
- Reflecting on all of this, and based on past precedent, if you were in Congress now would you vote in favor of intervening in Iran or oppose it? Why or why not? Write your answer in a lengthy paragraph. I am grading you on your own opinion here based on the information presented. You will not be graded down for agreeing or disagreeing with President Trump. But support your argument with evidence and quotes from the sources.
