Abstract
The Republicans have adopted the congressional norm of supporting Pres Bill Clinton's bid to deploy military forces to Bosnia although Congress was highly divided on issues of foreign policy. Congress voted 287-141 to support US forces but also made clear their reservations regarding Clinton's policy. In doing this, they cannot be accused of lack of patriotism and blamed for not supporting the troops.

The key to Bush's re-election is his willingness to change his policies in the areas of international trade and economic growth. Up to this point in the campaign, he has defended the status quo of the stagnation in his administration. He also needs to go on the offensive against Congress.

Pres Clinton made a largely symbolic effort to get Congressional approval for the military mission in Bosnia, while at the same time, insisting on his right to commit troops, no matter how Congress voted. This continues the expansion of executive power begun in the Cold War, and threatens democracy.
