which of the following is a law passed by congress that restricts the presidents authority as commander - in - chief?
a) the 22nd amendment
b) the executive powers act
c) impeachment
d) the war powers resolution

Explanation:

For the first question: The U.S. Constitution grants the House of Representatives the sole power to initiate impeachment, which requires a majority vote in the House. The Senate handles the trial after articles are passed.
For the second question: The War Powers Resolution is a federal law passed by Congress that limits the President's ability to commit U.S. armed forces to hostilities without congressional approval, restricting their Commander-in-Chief authority. The 22nd Amendment limits presidential terms, the Executive Powers Act does not exist as a relevant law here, and impeachment is a process, not a restricting law.

Answer:

1. B) a majority vote in the House of Representatives
2. D) the War Powers Resolution
