The Gulf of Tonkin joint resolution was passed by the US Congress so President Johnson can be authorized to take charge and use the military against Vietnam. The incident happened when the USS Maddox at Tonkin was attacked by Vietnamese using torpedos despite several warnings during a patrol round.
