!Please keep in mind this is for a political intro class and think of the role of president in the United States. The formal power of the President is the reason why we remain at war in Iraq and Afghanistan. Do you agree with this statement? Why or why not? he reason why the formal power to end of war is in the hans of president is not really explained in the essay. I think its just detail about the war ..when i whole prompt is about why you think the fornal power to end the war or the decision is in the hands of the president..i want some explanation why..
