Congress Balances the Presidency
The War Powers Resolution (1973)
Presidents since 1973 have often not consulted Congress before committing troops, and that can create a situation in which Congress does not dare recall them.
Congress can limit or deny presidential requests for military assistance.

What If… The United States Disposed of All of Its Nuclear Weapons?
At the height of the Cold War, both the United States and the Soviet Union possessed more than 10,000 nuclear warheads for missile launch.
Several agreements have been signed by the United States and Russia to destroy significant numbers of these weapons.

What If… The United States Disposed of All of Its Nuclear Weapons?
The United States still maintains about 5000 active and inactive nuclear warheads and more than 4000 "retired" warheads waiting for disposal.
Russia has about 2600 active warheads and more than 8000 "retired" warheads.

What If… The United States Disposed of All of Its Nuclear Weapons?
If the United States unilaterally destroyed its nuclear weapons, it is likely that the other Western powers would do so too.
Russia may also destroy theirs.
It is unclear what China, India, or Pakistan would do.

What If… The United States Disposed of All of Its Nuclear Weapons?
It is very expensive and difficult to dispose of nuclear weapons materials.
Political disagreements have slowed down the process of getting rid of nuclear weapons.

You Can Make a Difference: Working for Human Rights
In many countries throughout the world, human rights are not protected.
The strongest reason for involving yourself with human rights issues in other countries is simple moral altruism— unselfish regard for the welfare of others.
Working for peace can reduce the frequency of wars.
