Question

Use the quote to answer the question below. ‘We have before us one of the most important duties of the U.S. Senate and of the U.S. Congress, and that is to decide whether or not we will be involved in war. I think it is inexcusable that the debate over whether we involve the country in war, in another country’s civil war, that this would be debated as part of a spending bill, and not as part of an independent, free-standing bill...I think it is a sad day for the U.S. Senate. It goes against our history of the country." -Senator Rand Paul, Senate Floor Speech, September 18, 2014 Which foreign policy reality might limit what the Senate can do in this scenario?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

For the United States be able to meddle and go to war the Senate has to vote two third vote approval after the President send the request.So, if the Senate would not agree with the Presidents notion on a war they can vote to not participare which is what Rand Paul is saying. As well, eventhough Paul is a Republican senator he tend to incline more of a libetarian.
