北部湾决议案
 |
北部湾决议案[1]是美国国会在1964年8月7日针对东京湾事件而通过的一项联合决议。该项决议案具有历史意义，因为它授权美国总统林登·约翰逊在未经国会正式宣战的情况下在东南亚使用常规军事力量。决议授权总统可以采取包括武力介入在内的一切必要措施，以协助东南亚条约组织的任何成员抵御威胁。
在美国参议院，只有韦恩·莫尔斯和欧内斯特·格鲁宁两名参议员对决议案表示反对。格鲁宁表示 “决议案会把我们的美国男孩送进一场与我们无关的战争，这场战争不是我们的战争，有人误导我们卷入这场战争，而且这场战争还在不断升级”。决议案通过后，约翰逊政府依据该决议开始直接介入越南共和国与北越的军事冲突，北越与美国之间开始公开交战。
