The United States Constitution divides foreign policy powers, there are six basic ways in which Congress can originate or shape foreign policy
The president is the commander-in-chief over all military powers in the US. He consults with the military chiefs of staff but he is the commander and they serve at his will. Congress determines what the military will be and appropriates the funding for it.
Military powers of Congress include the power to declare war; appropriate money to equip the military and pay for new weapons; funds to maintain the military force must be approved every year; restrictions placed on the military power of the executive, like the War Powers Act; make rules governing land and naval forces; during times of war or domestic crisis, the Congress may grant special military powers to the President.
