The congress passed the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution after the Tokin Incident for use of conventional force in South East Asia to defend South Vietnam. And even then, the War Powers Resolution which forbade the use of armed forces overseas for any period longer than 60 days without congressional assent was only passed in 1973, after the Vietnam War had started.
