War Decisions in the Late 1990s by Partial Congressional Declaration
Tiefer, Charles
Abstract
The great surprise in actual war powers decision making of the late 1990s has been the emergence of a practically decisive, yet constitutionally unexplored paradigm: "partial" congressional declara- tion of war.' Presently, the Senate and the House seem to have the function of deciding on warlike action through unmatched, "partial" declarations; just how constitutional can this be?
