Talk:Cooper–Church Amendment

What I just wrote on another page

I wrote this on Cooper-Church Amendment, then realized there was a Cooper-Church amendment page when I attempted to move it. I redirected Cooper-Church Amendment here.

The '''Case-Church Amendment''' was an amendment by the [[United States Senate]], passed on June 30, 1973. The ammendment was the first time that the Congress had resticted the deployment of troops during a war and voted against the wishes of the president. The vote was 58-37 in the Senate. The [[United States House of Representatives]] did not approve a modified version of the bill until December of 1973. <ref name = "dic"> {{cite book | last =Schmitz | first =David F. | authorlink = | coauthors = | year = | title =The United States and Right-Wing Dictatorships, 1965-1989 | publisher =Cambridge University Press | location = | id = ISBN 0521861330 }} p. 121. </ref> Schmitz states that the amendment was a landmark in the history of opposition to the war, congressional initiatives to bring the fighting to an end, and efforts to control exececutive power in foreign policy.<ref name = "dic"/> ==Notes== <div class="references-small"> <!--See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Footnotes for an explanation of how to create footnotes using the <ref(erences/)> tags--> <references/> </div> ==See also== *[[Case-Church amendment]] {{stub}}
