Politicians and citizens who seek to end American military operations in Iraq have looked to the end of the Vietnam War as an example of how Congress could overcome a President to end a war.\u00a0 But in 2007, Congressional Democrats found it was not so easy.\u00a0 In theory, Congress can impose its will by denying appropriations for military operations.\u00a0 But there are political obstacles and legal difficulties.<\/p>\n

Bob Strassfeld, a member of our Law faculty for twenty years, has published on law and the Vietnam War in the Wisconsin, North Carolina, and Duke law reviews.\u00a0 Please join us for a discussion of one of the most important, but least understood, aspects of the political conflict over the war in Iraq.<\/p>\n

The Friday Lunch is a brown-bag event open to all.\u00a0 Cookies and some beverages are provided.<\/p>\n

The remainder of this e-mail reports what we know about the schedule for the rest of the semester. We will be sending out announcements each week. If you would prefer not to receive the announcements, please inform Dr. Andrew Lucker, Associate Director of the Center for Policy Studies, by e-mail (andrew.lucker@case.edu<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The Friday Lunch discussions are held on the lower (ground) level of
\nCrawford Hall.\u00a0 Visitors with mobility issues may find it easiest to take advantage of special arrangements we have made.\u00a0 On most Fridays, a few parking spaces in the V.I.P. lot in between Crawford Hall and Amasa Stone Chapel are held for participants in the lunch discussion.<\/p>\n

Visitors then can avoid walking up the hill to the first floor of Crawford by entering the building on the ground level, through the garage area under the building.\u00a0 The further door on the left in that garage will be left unlocked during the period before the Friday lunch.\u00a0 On occasion, parking will be unavailable because of other university events.<\/p>\n
