U.S. Armed Forces Abroad: Selected Congressional Roll Call Votes Since 1982

Abstract

This report lists relevant congressional roll call votes for several major instances in which U.S. Armed Forces have been sent abroad in potentially hostile situations. These votes are representative of those that have a direct correlation to issues affecting policy and funding oftroops abroad, often in the context ofthe War Powers Resolution, continued presence or withdrawal, or "use of force." The cases of Lebanon (1982-1983), Grenada (1983), Panama (1989), the Persian GulfWar (1990-1991), Somalia (1992-1995), Haiti (1993-1996), Bosnia (1992- ), Kosovo (1999), the terrorist attack against Arnenca (2001), and the use of U.S. Armed Forces against Iraq (2002) are examined. Those roll call votes that are available online (since 1990 in the House and 1989 in the Senate) are linked. This report will be updated as events or legislation warrant.
