Answer:

See below ~

Step-by-step explanation:

The Senate Judiciary Committee organized a dedicated subcommittee on the Separation of Powers in 1971, and its Subcommittee on Constitutional Rights made waves with a major investigation into army spying in 1970 - 1971. Congress repealed the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution in June 1970, and in its June 1971 defense reauthorization bill it called for a termination of military operations in Indochina. All this set the stage for members of Congress to use the Watergate crisis* as a means of constitutionally rehabilitating their branch, especially in terms of foreign policy powers.

* - Refers to a scandal during Richard Nixon's presidency
