The US House of Representatives has no direct military authority. Its members do not have any military rank or authority, and are not inside the military chain-of-command. It does, however, control two important military-related issues:

  1. As part of Congress, the U.S. House of Representatives must pass a bill authorizing any sustained use of US Military forces (under the War Powers Resolution of 1973) or must pass a bill for war to be declared (per the Constitution). Both bills must also pass the US Senate to be valid.
  2. It also controls all Military-related appropriations; that is, all funding for the US Armed Services must pass through the House.

How did presidents use military force to expand executive powers in the 20th century?

In the 20th century, U.S. presidents increasingly employed military force to expand executive powers, often bypassing Congress. Notable examples include the use of military interventions in Korea and Vietnam, where presidents asserted their authority to act decisively in foreign affairs without formal declarations of war. This trend was further solidified by the War Powers Resolution of 1973, which sought to limit presidential war-making powers but ultimately underscored the executive's ability to engage militarily in conflicts. As a result, presidents have often claimed a broader interpretation of their constitutional powers concerning military action, shaping the balance of power between the executive and legislative branches.
