Congress and the president share responsibility for the nation's military.
This is so because Congress controls government spending and because the president can only send troops over seas for 60 days unless Congress declares war or gives approval to the troops staying.
They have meetings in the Capitol Building. Then they have the speaker of house be a spokes person for the president.
False. The President is the commander-in-cheif of the nations military, and can take any military action he pleases. However, that does not mean that congress has to fund it, or support it.

President Woodrow Wilson tried to get Congress to approve the US entry into the League of Nations. The League of Nations was the predecessor to the United Nations.
Congress
In democratic nations the responsibilities are divided among varying levels through senate, congress, and a figure head
The president can move quickly and with one mind. He also has only one staff to keep from leaking secrets instead of 535 staffs to control.
He/She can make treaties, but they need to be approved by Congress.
President John Hanson was the Nations first President under the original United States Constitution that patriots fought and died for - the Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union.The term "President of the United States in Congress Assembled" under the nations first government is used today when the President of the United States of America is present with a full Congress. President Hanson never presided over the Continental Congress I or II - he presided as the Nations first President of the United States of America after the Continental Congress was dissolved on March 1, 1781. His duties as President were independent of the Congress as the Office of the President was created and spelled out in the Articles. The Office of the President of the United States never intended to be the "Executive Office of the President" that was created in 1939 or "commander-in-chief" of the US military, but these additions were added later in the second adopted constitution and after Washington was President with the EXOP in 1939. John Hanson was truly our Nation's first President of the United States of America.
The President does not make treaties. Congress does. This includes the Senate as well as the House of Representatives.
The President is the boss of the state department which builds such relations. He has some discretionary funds, I think and he can certainly recommend that Congress hand out money to the nations he likes.
Military leadership and dealing with foreign nations require quick and decisive action, especially in an emergency. Both conditions are more likely when control is held by one person and not a large group of legislators with varying opinions. The president also has access to relevant secret information through executive agencies like the CIA and NSC that is not widely available to Congress
