Abstract: The War Powers Resolution was created by Congress in 1973 in an effort to limit the power of the executive branch to initiate and maintain military engagements without congressional approval and oversight. However, nearly 35 years after overriding President Nixon's veto of the Resolution, Congress has continued to cede it's authority over America's military to the commander-in-chief, which has culminated in a dangerous system in which the President seeks to persuade the public as to the merits and necessity for military action instead of the legislative branch. The change in policy necessary to correct such a dangerous system does not require further Resolutions or Amendments, rather Congress needs only to address the problem they chose to ignore by creating the Resolution in the first place, reluctance to confront the executive branch on issues of military affairs and national security. |

Abstract: Mediation is a common and effective third-party form of conflict resolution. This meta-analysis examines the satisfaction levels participants in mediation compared with those using an adversarial method of dispute resolution. Eleven articles were coded by the authors in order to discern overall satisfaction experienced by people who participated in mediation during child custody hearings, divorces, and other conflicts. The results from this meta-analysis indicate that overall satisfaction ratings were higher for mediation than for litigation. This study challenges existing literature in its findings that comparisons of satisfaction with mediation and adversarial methods of dispute resolution contrasted by gender, with men being more satisfied with mediation and women being more satisfied with adversarial methods. |
