The U. S. Constitution gives primary control of the military to the nation's civilian (nonmilitary) leaders. Congress controls the military budget. The president is the commander in chief of the armed forces, but only Congress can declare war. Elected officials can ask military leaders for advice, but the president makes the final decisions in military matters, and Congress can appropriate or refuse to appropriate money for military operations.

Why is the system set up this way? The nation's founders believed the military should carry out policy, not make policy. Policy should come from elected officials who reflect the will of the people.

Throughout our history president's have been given unlimited powers to deal with conflicts and crisis; Eisenhower during the Korean Conflict, Johnson during the Vietnam War, Bush after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

With this information do you believe the a president should ever be given unlimited power during times of crisis? Please explain why or why not.

on this day in 1939, in response to hitler’s invasion of poland, britain and france, both allies of the overrun nation declare war on germany.

the first casualty of that declaration was not german—but the british ocean liner athenia, which was sunk by a german u-30 submarine that had assumed the liner was armed and belligerent. there were more than 1,100 passengers on board, 112 of whom lost their lives. of those, 28 were americans, but president roosevelt was unfazed by the tragedy, declaring that no one was to “thoughtlessly or falsely talk of america sending its armies to european fields.” the united states would remain neutral.

as for britain’s response, it was initially no more than the dropping of anti-nazi propaganda leaflets—13 tons of them—over germany. they would begin bombing german ships on september 4, suffering significant losses. they were also working under orders not to harm german civilians. the german military, of course, had no such restrictions. france would begin an offensive against germany’s western border two weeks later. their effort was weakened by a narrow 90-mile window leading to the german front, enclosed by the borders of luxembourg and belgium—both neutral countries. the germans mined the passage, stalling the french offensive.
