When Was the Last War Draft?
The first US draft was during the US Civil War (1861-1865); the last US draft was during the Vietnam War (1961-1975).
Was the draft used during Vietnam War legal?
No because it was an undeclared war.
What years was the military draft in effect?
During WWII and Vietnam. Yes, during WWII and the Vietnam War, but to be more general, the military draft is used whenever the U.S. does not have enough voluntary recruits (meaning, when there are not enough volunteers). So, it could be argued that the military draft is used to "force" people into the army to defend their country. It has not been employed since the early 1970's.
When the last time the draft was used in the us?
First, US Civil War; Last, Vietnam War.
How did Congress ensure that the military had enough troops to fight the war?
It depends on which war you're referring to, but the Congress has the authority to instate the "draft", where people are forced to join the military. The draft was last used in Vietnam.
