1I would agree. Congress has to power to declare war and to appropriate funds for wars, but it can't force the President to actually use force in a declared war or to actually spend the money it appropriates to carry out a war.ohwilleke– ohwilleke2023-02-23 04:07:41 +00:00Commented Feb 23, 2023 at 4:07

@ohwilleke It can always impeach the President for failing to prosecute the war or use appropriated funds for war.hszmv– hszmv2023-02-23 12:22:15 +00:00Commented Feb 23, 2023 at 12:22

@hszmv Even an impeachment doesn't necessarily force the President or a successor President to actual use military force. And, an impeaching Congress doesn't have much control over who the successor will be. Generally, the VP will be at least moderately aligned with the President politically.ohwilleke– ohwilleke2023-02-23 16:40:17 +00:00Commented Feb 23, 2023 at 16:40

So Congress could just introduce a poison pill, ex: if the hated country's president is not assassinated in the next 365 days, the Department of Education gets nothing in the next federal budget.moonman239– moonman2392023-02-25 16:06:32 +00:00Commented Feb 25, 2023 at 16:06

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. united-states), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
