Summary
On August 2, 1990, Iraqi forces invaded Kuwait. Within days, President Bush committed roughly 200,000 US troops to Saudi Arabia, and brought the matter before the United Nations Security Council without a congressional resolution or declaration. Several questions have arisen from this crisis: Does the United States Constitution make the President the "sole organ" for the formulation of foreign policy, including the decision to go to war? How has the Supreme Court resolved these critical issues in light of the more than 200 "limited" or "presidential" wars? What, if any, are the responsibilities of Congress in the formulation and conduct of American foreign policy? These are the questions posed and debated in this long awaited crucial study of the United States foreign policy and the Supreme Court. Recommended for students of the America Constitution and the role and purpose of the higher judiciary.
