The Gulf of Tonkin Resolution.
Mr. Morse was a noted critic of the Vietnam War. Gulf of Tonkin violated Article 1 of the Constitution, requiring Congress to declare war before committing troops. (Although there have been other instances where troops were sent without a formal declaration).
President Lyndon Johnson used the Gulf of Tonkin incidents to get the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution passed. This permitted him to militarily assist any southeast Asian country that claimed to be victimized by communist aggression. He used this as justification to â??put boots on the groundâ?? (deploy troops) and begin open warfare with North Vietnam.
