Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The War Powers Resolution was passed by Congress in order to reassert their control over the decision to go to war, despite the president being the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. The Appropriations Bill is a spending bill that allocates funds for specific purposes, while the Pentagon Papers were a collection of classified documents leaked to the press in the 1970s that revealed information about the government's handling of the Vietnam War. The Kyoto Agreement was an international treaty aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions. None of these options address the issue of congressional control over going to war.
