Congress, responding with patriotic fervor, approved the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, as it was called, with only desultory debate.

Congress reacted quickly and patriotically to the events in the Gulf of Tonkin, approving the resolution with minimal discussion. This resolution granted broad authority to the President to deploy military forces in Southeast Asia without requiring further approval from Congress.
The swift acceptance reflected a sense of national unity and support for the Vietnam War effort. It marked a significant step in escalating U.S. involvement in Vietnam under the guise of protecting American interests and responding to perceived threats.
