Eisenhower Opposes War Powers Check in Congress
President Eisenhower objected to a House amendment by Rep. Coudert to require congressional assent for sending US troops abroad. He called the proposal an artificial restriction and warned it would impede executive flexibility during global crises while reaffirming that the US would go to war only by Congress declaration. He cited aid to France in Indo China and hoped Geneva talks would yield a practical modus vivendi in the Far East.
