"The Sound of the Guns: Is There a Congressional Rally Effect after U.S. Military Action?." <i>American Politics Quarterly,</i> 15, no. 2 (1987) Sage: 223-237. http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/004478087015002002.https://hdl.handle.net/1911/71100This article examines whether, during the 1946-1982 time period, presidents achieve more success in Congress on important international issues in the wake of dramatic military operations. The analysis shows that, at least for a short period of time after visible uses of U.S. military force, a president will generally have a greater chance of congressional support on key international issues.engArticle is made available in accordance with the publisher's policy and may be subject to US copyright law.
