Which of the following illustrates Congress's role in national security? We need to send field operatives to country A to assess the situation. Mr. President, our dollar is not strong enough to finance that mission. We should negotiate a treaty with country Z to fix this situation. Mr. President, we are sending 10,000 troops to country B next week.

Regarding national security, one of the faculties congress has is to fund the military. Therefore, it has the power to decide wether or not is economically convenient for the country to finance a military operation. Wether the mission is targeted towards a location inside the borders or outside them. If congressmen, after debating this issue, conclude that such funding can be harmful to the economical welfare of the country, then they will probably end up, dismissing the executive's propossal of getting funds. It is not in Congress's faculties to advice the president regarding treaties with foreign countries. This is a responsibility of the diplomatic branch of the Executive. They will give the President the most adecuate advice possible, taking into consideration the current state of affairs with a foreign country. Diplomats are deployed in countries located in every continent. Each diplomatic office located in a foreign country foresees the relations between it and the US. It also has a deeper understanding of the current issues sorrounding that region. Finally, congress has the power to approve or deny if the country is to engage in a war with a foreign country, but regarding the logistics of the operation (number of troops, vehicles, ships, etc), this is a decision that is within the responsibility of the Army. The army's headquarters is known as The Pentagon. This is the organization that manages the Army's current resources and assigns them according to the decisions made by the government. Wether it is related to protecting the borders or engaging in an armed conflict with a foreign country.
