Question

Which of the following names a piece of legislation that was passed at the beginning of the Vietnam War and repealed before its end?

Answer 1

I think it's missing some options but an example of legislation that was passed the beginning of the Vietnam War and repealed before its end was the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, which was passed in 1965 and repealed in 1971.

Answer 2

The correct answer is the following: The Gulf of Tonkin Resolution was a piece of legislation that was passed at the beginning of the Vietnam War and was repealed before its end. The Resolution that was enacted on August 10th, 1964 and passed by the United States Congress on August 7th, authorized President Lyndon Johnson to take "all necessary measures to repel any armed attack against the forces of the United States".

By 1967, the public opposition to the war had grew and a movement began calling for the repeal of the resolution. On 1971, President Nixon signed the repeal to the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, seeking to restore limits on Presidential authority to engage the national forces without a formal declaration of war.
