    c. Congress handed the president a blank check to use further force in Vietnam.

    Explanation:

    In August 1964, two destroyers of the U. S. army located in the Tonkin Gulf in Vietnam communicated that they were under the attack of North Vietnamese forces. As a response, president Lyndond B. Johnson asked the United State's for permission to reinforce military presence in Indochina. That same month, the Tunkin Gulf Resolution was passed, giving green light to President Johnson to act however it was necessary to keep international peace and security in the south of Asia.
