Perhaps the most controversial of Watergate "reforms" is the War Powers Act. Much can be said about the controveries surrounding this Act, on the whole it appears to be a cosmetic ''ex post facto'' attempt to justify the charges of President Nixon's alleged wrongdoing. Every president since has violated it, and no Congress has asked the [[Supreme Court]] to rule on its constitutionality.
