Explanation:
On November 30, 1950, President Harry S. Truman announces during a press conference that he is prepared to authorize the use of atomic weapons in order to achieve peace in Korea. At the time of Truman’s announcement, communist China had joined North Korean forces in their attacks on United Nations troops, including U.S. soldiers, who were trying to prevent communist expansion into South Korea.
Truman blamed the Soviet Union for using communist Chinese insurgents as part of a devious plan to spread communism into Asia and pledged to “increase our defenses to a point where we can talk—as we should always talk—with authority.” The press then asked what Truman planned to do if the Chinese Nationalists, who were already struggling against the spread of communism in their own country, failed to get involved in the Korean conflict. Truman responded that the U.S. would take “whatever steps were necessary” to contain communist expansion in Korea. A reporter asked “Will that include the atomic bomb?” to which Truman replied, “That includes every weapon that we have.”
In 1945, Truman authorized the use of two atomic bombs to end the war with Japan. The bombs were dropped on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and, although the Japanese did surrender, the horrifying results were still fresh in everyone’s minds. At the time, the U.S. was the only country to possess nuclear weapons. By the time the Korean conflict erupted, however, the Soviet Union had also developed an atomic bomb.
The President of the United States leads the armed forces. He is the Head of State and person with the most authority over the United States' armed forces, comprising both the United States Army and the Navy. The granular details and policy of the US military that the President influences varies depending upon who is President.

Answer: B. False
Explanation:
There are three bodies of government in the United States government; the Legislature, Executive and the Judiciary.
Each of these bodies have roles that they are to pursue independently without control from the other bodies.
Congress is part of the Legislature of the United States government and the President is the head of the Executive.
As they are in different bodies, the President is not in control of Congress and Congress is not in control of the President.
They can however, limit each other's powers.
Answer: B
Explanation: The President in the executive branch can veto a law, but the legislative branch can override that veto with enough votes. The legislative branch has the power to approve Presidential nominations, control the budget, and can impeach the President and remove him or her from office.
