The War No One Declared - June 27, 1952
Download MP3On June 27, 1950, President Harry Truman committed American forces to Korea without a congressional declaration of war and in doing so, permanently altered the balance of power between the president and Congress. The decision was both morally defensible and constitutionally dangerous, and the precedent it set has never been undone. This episode explores the man, the moment, and the eighty-million-dollar question every American should be asking: who has the power to take the country to war?
