It would be C because the president can't declare war only congress can and also the president is the one who commands the military overall

Answer:

The incorrect statement is the one that says that "The Senate can command the military, but declaring war is the president's role".

Step-by-step explanation:

The sentence is not correct, since in reality the President of the United States is the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, that is, he is the one who directs the military and orders their operations. In turn, only Congress can declare war, passing a law on the matter.
