SUMMARY:2021 Quincy Award for Responsible Statecraft:  A Conversation with 
 Representatives Jim McGovern & Peter Meijer about Congress’ Role in War 
 and Peace
DESCRIPTION:Senators Christopher Murphy\, Mike Lee and Bernie Sanders\, and
  Representatives Jim McGovern and Peter Meijer have been selected as the j
 oint recipients of the 2021 Quincy Award for Responsible Statecraft.    
 The award recognizes the role of this bipartisan group in championing legi
 slation that strengthens the constitutional role of Congress in exerting c
 ontrol over executive war powers. The National Security Reforms and Accoun
 tability Act in the House\, and the National Security Powers Act in the Se
 nate would require affirmative congressional approval for any future milit
 ary interventions or declarations of national emergency\, and for most arm
 s sales. This bipartisan legislation would greatly strengthen the ability 
 of the American people through their representatives in Congress to exerci
 se a meaningful check on executive branch decisions about war and peace. 
   The award is named for John Quincy Adams\, the nation’s sixth presiden
 t\, who 200 years and 83 American-involved wars ago warned that America ou
 ght not go “abroad in search of monsters to destroy.” The Quincy Insti
 tute established this award in 2020 to honor the individual(s) or organiza
 tion whose work has done the most in the preceding year to move U.S. polic
 y away from endless war and toward vigorous and effective diplomacy.
