House of representatives military powers?
The US House of Representatives has no direct military authority. Its members do not have any military rank or authority, and are not inside the military chain-of-command. It does, however, control two important military-related issues:As part of Congress, the U.S. House of Representatives must pass a bill authorizing any sustained use of US military forces (under the War Powers Resolution of 1973) or must pass a bill for war to be declared (per the Constitution). Both bills must also pass the US Senate to be valid.It also controls all Military-related appropriations; that is, all funding for the US Armed Services must pass through the House.
