This Day in American History

On July 19th, 1973, the US Senate passes the War Powers Act, limiting the ability of the President to wage war without the approval of Congress.

A fruitless act, mostly for political theater, since most Presidents learn how to circumvent congress like an immigrant bypassing a useless wall. When there's a war to be had, a war there will be.
