Determine the truth of the following statement:

Congress cannot declare war; only the President can.

A. True
B. False

Asked by Allison871

Answer (2)

False. The Congress holds power to declare war, though the Senate and the other houses all have to agree, too. Therefore, if the President declares war, all the other Houses must agree to go to war.

The statement is False ; Congress has the power to declare war, not just the President. The U.S. Constitution grants this authority to Congress, which has officially declared war only five times in history. The President, as Commander-in-Chief, cannot unilaterally declare war, although military actions can be ordered without such declarations under certain circumstances.
