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 has a system of separation of powers. The president is the 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 legislative branch does through the power of the purse). The statement about keeping the military from overrunning the government is too vague and not a direct constitutional limit in the context of the president's power as commander - in - chief. Also, the president is the 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.
