Congress is made of up of the House of Representatives and the Senate, this means it is bicameral. So its incorrect to say that you are wrong, only that you are partly right! As congress is made up of both, then it is both that have the power to declare war. :) hope this helps

∙ 15y agoYes. They both have to vote on it and have a two-thirds majority. The president does not actually have the power to declare war. He can only send troops places.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoTogether the house and senate form Congress and then war can be declared.

What does the first article in the constitution say?

Who has more power House of Representatives or the Senate?
Neither really has "more" power. They have differentpowers. Neither of them can really "overrule" the other, because generally they have to agree for anything to happen. For example, only the House can impeach an elected official, but only the Senate can convict someone who has been impeached. The House and Senate must agree in order to remove someone from office; if the House impeaches them but the Senate doesn't convict them, then nothing happens, and if the House doesn't impeach them in the first place then the Senate can't convict them so again nothing happens.There are certain things that are reserved to either the House or Senate, but again, it's not really a question of "more power".That said: Senators serve (normally) for six years, while Representatives serve for only two. There are far fewer Senators than Representatives, so each Senator's vote has more "weight" than each Representative's does. The Senate is considered the "Upper" chamber of the Legislative branch. For all these reasons, it's not entirely wrong to say the Senate has more power ... but it's not entirely right, either.
What are the responsibilities for state senate?
The United States Congress consists of the Senate and the House of Representatives. Both Senators and Representatives are responsible for representing the people of the states they serve. This involves voting and writing bills in the United States Congress. There are, however, some major differences between a United States Senator and a Representative, beginning with voting privileges. For example, a Senator has the privilege of voting on whether or not to confirm the President's judicial nominees; United States Representatives do not have this right or responsibility.

The Senate NEVER has the exclusive right to introduce legislation. The House of Representatives has the exclusive right to introduce legislation on bills regarding the raising, and spending, of money (e.g. the yearly federal budget, and laws about adjusting taxes).
