A. command the armed forces B. declare war

C. coin and print money D. impeach the President

Answer 1

The correct answer is A. command the armed forces

The legislative branch is the rule making arm of government. It legislates in various areas including in commerce and declaring war. However, it does not command the armed forces as this is the role of the executive

Answer 2

Option A, Command of the Armed Forces is the right answer.

The Senate and the House of Representatives together form the United States Congress. The main task of the United States Congress is to make the laws. Its power includes the passing of laws, impeachment of officials, approving treaties etc, And the President of the United State is the Chief Commander of the Armed forces. Therefore the Legislative Branch of the United States does not entrust with the power of command armed forces.
