Nixon is expected to veto the war powers bill Tuesday or Wednesday, arguing that it would tie his hands unneces sarily at a time of crisis such as the current war in the Middle East.

Many liberals also oppose the bill on the argument that it would give the President more power than he has under tlie Constitution. Although Congress never voted specifically to send American troops into Vietnam, the Constitution stipulates that only Congress can declare war. The bill limits the President's warmaking powers to a maximum of 90 days without congressional assent. It permits him to commit U.S. troops to combat under certain conditions for 60 days without approval from Congress and for another 30 days simply by declaring he cannot withdraw them any earlier.

The House gave final congressional approval to the bill Oct. 12. The vote was 238-123, three votes short of the twothir- ds necessary to override. The' Senate vote was 75-20, well over the necessary two thirds, but that chamber was not expected to get a chance to vote on an override because it was expected to be defeated when the House votes first next month. Out of seven vetoes, the House has failed five times to override a veto while the Senate has voted tooverrideall but two.
