It Ends When I Say It Ends
- This final section talks about when this resolution ends. Since it's not a declaration of war (which would supposedly end with a peace treaty), there's not a clear end point.
- Hmmm.
- Translation? The resolution ends when the President says it ends.
- Whenever he decides that the area (Southeast Asia) is secure and peace is returned, the resolution will no longer be in effect.
- With great power comes great responsibility, eh?
- Finally, Congress can end the resolution before the President if they decide to do so.
- There you have it ladies and gentlemen, one of the shortest documents ever written by Congress. Oh, and also one of the most disastrous.
