Read the paragraph from "Wilson's War Message to Congress"
Gentlemen of the Congress: I have called the Congress into extraordinary session because there are serious, very
serious, choices of policy to be made, and made immdiately, which it was neither right nor constitutionally
permissible that I should assume the responsibility of making.
Wilson's word choice in the paragraph supports the idea that
calling Congress into session has major consequences.
he is worried about making this decision on his own
he understands the magnitude of the decision the country is faced with
the president cannot make serious decisions without input from Congress
