Was signed into law. This landmark piece of legislation is the reason that millions of americans cannot be denied a job simply because they live with a disability. And its also the reasons that americans with disabilities are guaranteed the same basic rights as every other person welcomeded to spaces across our country. From our schools, shopping malls, Public Schools and restaurants. There is no question that over the past 29 years, our nation has broken down many obstacles which used to confront people with disabilities. But the truth is that we still have a long path to travel before we can finally say that americans with disabilities has fully achieved equality and justice. At this moment. More than one out of every five disabled americans live below the poverty line, and as is too often the case, it is people from traditionally marginalized communities, including women and people of color who continue to suffer the most.

What a war versus use of military force is a very fuzzy definition. The bombing in libya was determined not to be a military force. Not enough to war. Without giving the president unchecked power to engage in military force. The president can act independently without congress up until it engages in a war theres a variety of other problems in that including the International Definition of war means essentially that would be every action almost no declared wars anymore. Thats one way in which the administration has tried to do the power it claimed for itself. I think the disagreements as to what constitutes a war, i think that there has been evolution in the Obama Administration towards a view of how war powers are allocated in the constitution.
