This book explores the culture of deference by the legislative
branch to the executive branch on foreign policy issues,
particularly regarding the George W. Bush administration's rush to
war in Iraq in 2003. By authorizing President Bush to go to war in
Iraq at his own discretion in its October 2002 resolution, the
107th Congress abdicated its constitutional responsibility and its
members failed to honor their oath to uphold the Constitution of
the United States. Although the «war powers are constitutionally
those of Congress, historically presidents have engaged in war
making and Congress has with limited success attempted to curb such
war making. This book traces how this culture of deference to the
chief executive on war making evolved and how, especially in the
case of Iraq, it has adversely affected the interests of the
nation, its constitutional framework, and its position in the
world. This book will serve as an excellent text for courses on
U.S. foreign policy, U.S. diplomatic history, and the role of
Congress.
