The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly is actually a really awful film. The plot is slow and ponderous, the Italian actors are not very good (the dubbed voices are especially bad), and there is a lot of senseless violence. But this is why everyone loves this film.
The War Powers Act or War Power Resolution was the first law passed intending to define and limit the powers the President of the United States possessed.
The debate became particularly pointed during the Vietnam War, another undeclared conflict. The belief that Presidents Kennedy, Johnson and Nixon had exceeded their authority to commit troops without Congressional action led to the adoption of the War Powers Act in 1973.
