the p________ can send troops to a foreign land for up to 90 days as c______ in chief, but only c______ can d________ war

Explanation:

This problem is about the checks - and - balances system in the United States government. The first blank is related to the executive branch official who nominates Supreme Court justices (the President). The Supreme Court is abbreviated as S.C. in common usage. The Senate (part of the legislative branch) approves judicial nominees. For the second part, the President (as Commander - in - Chief) has some military deployment powers, but only Congress (legislative branch) can declare war.

Answer:

The P\(_{\text{resident}}\) nominates a justice to the S\(_{\text{upreme}}\) C\(_{\text{ourt}}\), but the S\(_{\text{enate}}\) approves of the nominee. The P\(_{\text{resident}}\) can send troops to a foreign land for up to 90 days as C\(_{\text{ommander}}\) in Chief, but only C\(_{\text{ongress}}\) can d\(_{\text{eclare}}\) war.
