Normative theory vs. findings of empirical research
First of all it's important to note that the normative theory is vital on understanding the political behavior of the American public and when regarding citizenship norms to participation they refer to voting in elections, being active in politics, political associations and the selection of products for ethical, political or environmental reasons. The normative theory of the ideal citizen and the findings of empirical research on participation in voting during presidential elections differ from the fact that the normative theory is based on ethical principles as the ground rules for moral decision making while the findings of empirical research show that voters participating in presidential elections view these ethical principles as just mere factors to consider when making a decision on who or how to vote.

However this hasn't been effective as consecutive presidents have refused to adopt the war power resolution citing that it is against the powers constitutionally bestowed to the President and thus not binding.
