June 27: Gulf of Tonkin Resolution (1964)

On June 27, 1964, the United States Congress passed the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, granting President Lyndon B. Johnson broad authority to conduct military operations in Southeast Asia. This resolution was a response to reported attacks on U.S. Navy ships by North Vietnamese forces in the Gulf of Tonkin, which heightened tensions and justified increased American involvement in the Vietnam War.

The resolution allowed President Johnson to deploy U.S. military forces without a formal declaration of war from Congress. It reflected conservative principles of national security during the Cold War era, aiming to counter communist expansion and protect American interests in the region.

However, the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution later became controversial due to doubts about the accuracy of the reported incidents and concerns over its implications for presidential power. It sparked significant debate and opposition as the Vietnam War dragged on, influencing discussions on executive authority and congressional oversight in military matters.
