US President Nixon believed it was unnecessary to consult the US Congress on his decision to bomb Cambodia during the Vietnam War. His rational was the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962. In that case, President Kennedy did not consult with the Congress on his decisions regarding Cuba and the USSR. Nixon claimed that the Vietnam War was in itself a crisis and as Commander in Chief, he could make major policy changes without consulting with Congress.
