Question

how does the constitution limit the power of the president as commander in chief?
it gives the judicial branch power to get military funding.
it keeps the military from overrunning the government.
it grants power to declare war to congress.
it gives the president authority over only the army.

Explanation:

The U.S. Constitution divides powers among the three branches. The president is commander - in - chief of the military, but Congress has the power to declare war. This is a key check on the president's military power.

• The judicial branch does not have the power to get military funding. The power of the purse (including military funding) is mainly with Congress.
• While the structure of civilian control (president as commander - in - chief) helps prevent the military from over - running the government, this is more about the general principle of civilian control rather than a specific limit on the president's power as commander - in - chief in the way the question is framed.
• The president is commander - in - chief of all armed forces (army, navy, air force, etc.), not just the army.

Answer:

It grants power to declare war to Congress.
