Congress rarely uses its power to impeach. More often, it elects to respond legislatively to executive abuses. The War Power Act, for example, came into play when Iraq invaded neighboring Kuwait in the early 1990s and President Bush moved to intervene. James Baker and Mickey Edwards recount the interplay between Congress, the President and his staff regarding the Persian Gulf conflict.
