Congressional Authority to Limit Military Ops (CRS)
The constitutional allocation of war powers between Congress and the President and the authority of Congress to restrict ongoing military operations are considered in a new report from the Congressional Research Service.
See “Congressional Authority To Limit U.S. Military Operations in Iraq” (pdf), January 29, 2007.
A related study on “Congressional Use of Funding Cutoffs Since 1970 Involving U.S. Military Forces and Overseas Deployments” was updated on January 16, 2007.
Also new (or newly updated) from CRS are these:
“Germany’s Relations with Israel: Background and Implications for German Middle East Policy,” January 19, 2007.
“North Korean Ballistic Missile Threat to the United States,” updated January 3, 2007.

The evidence is clear: algorithmic pay-setting is established in app-based work, and payroll/timekeeping failures show how software can produce systemic wage harm at scale
While a few states have taken steps to implement decision-making mechanisms for certain AI systems, too many leaders are simply accepting narratives about AI’s purported public benefit at face value – jumping to the “how” of AI implementation before thoroughly vetting potential systems and deciding whether they are appropriate to use at all.
