New episode of History As It Happens podcast: Why is Congress unwilling or unable to end endless wars? Why has War Powers Resolution of 1973 proved so ineffective? Our conversation with jeremisuri and jeffreyaengel on Yemen and U.S. militarism.
For all the legitimate concern about the fate of American democracy and our governing institutions, relatively little attention is paid to Congress' inability or unwillingness to check the war powers of the"imperial presidency." The War Powers Resolution of 1973, passed in the aftermath of the Johnson and Nixon administrations' abuses during the Vietnam War, was supposed to empower Congress to end endless wars, but a half century later we can see that the U.S.
support for Saudi Arabia's cruel war in Yemen, which has left thousands of civilians dead while producing an epic humanitarian crisis. In this episode, historians Jeremi Suri and Jeffrey Engel reveal the reasons why the War Powers Resolution has never been used to end a U.S. military adventure, and what might be done to end"endless American war". This is a podcast for people who want to think historically about current events.
