Senate to vote on war powers measure following Maduro ouster

[ancianita]

14. Or cut military funding? Is that possible? It seems so, tho' I'm not sure. It's my understanding that, yes,

Congress has the constitutional authority to cut military funding for a specific cause by exercising its "power of the purse".

Congress can include specific policy provisions (riders) in funding bills to restrict how money is used
or even terminate U.S. participation in hostilities by cutting off funding entirely for a military operation.

Congress can pass legislation that bars the use of funds for certain activities or in certain locations.
While the President is the Commander-in-Chief, with authority over the operational deployment of forces, Congress's power of the purse provides a strong mechanism to influence and even limit military activities and expenditures if there is sufficient political will and agreement to pass such legislation.
