AP US Government
Unit 2 – Branches of Government
Topic 2.13
What best demonstrates a significant difference between how Congress exercised its discretionary powers in post-9/11 America versus during the Vietnam War era?
During Vietnam War era, Congress had lesser discretionary powers than it did post-9/11.
In both cases, Congress was heavily involved in decision making without much deference to the President's discretion.
There were no significant changes between these two eras; Congressional discretion remained constant.
Post-9/11 saw Congress ceding more discretionary powers to the President for national security reasons, unlike during Vietnam War era.
