Question
- what power does congress have regarding military interventic
○ congress controls troop movements exclusively.
○ congress must declare war each time.
○ congress can approve or deny funding for military actions.
○ congress can override presidential decisions easily.
Under the U.S. system of checks and balances, Congress holds the power of the purse, meaning it controls federal funding, including for military operations. Troop movements are primarily directed by the President as Commander-in-Chief, so Congress does not control them exclusively. Congress has the power to declare war, but military interventions can occur without a formal declaration (e.g., authorized use of force resolutions). Overriding presidential decisions requires high vote thresholds and is not "easy."
