Answer :

Answer:

  • The expansion of presidential power greatly contributed to the Vietnam War. Presidents like Truman and Eisenhower provided economic and military aid to the French in Indochina, but it was President Johnson who escalated the conflict with the Tonkin Gulf Resolution. This resolution granted him broad authority to take necessary actions without a formal declaration of war from Congress. This expansion of presidential power set a dangerous precedent and led to a prolonged and controversial war in Vietnam.
