Question 47 • U.S. Government

Which of these illustrates a foreign policy duty of Congress?

Answer
A
appointing an ambassador to improve relationships with rival nations
B
sending an operative to gather information about an enemy nation
C
negotiating a peace treaty with a rival nation
D
declaring war on an enemy nation

Explanation

The Constitution gives Congress the power to declare war, making that a foreign policy duty of the legislative branch. Appointing ambassadors and negotiating treaties are primarily presidential responsibilities, though the Senate has a role in confirming ambassadors and approving treaties. Sending an operative to gather intelligence is not a congressional duty.
