The Case-Church Amendment was a piece of legislation that sought to rein in President Richard Nixon's conduct of the Vietnam War. Named for its principal co-sponsors, Senators Clifford P. Case and Frank Church, it was passed by the United States Congress on June 19, 1973. The Amendment prohibited any further U.S. military involvement in Southeast Asia without Congressional authorization, effective August 15, 1973. The veto-proof vote was 278-124 in the House, and 64-26 in the Senate.[1][2]
