And now, another Fact of Congress

When you look at Congress, ever wonder…(announcer gets excited) what the heck goes on in there!? (Embarrassed for getting so animated, announcer clears his throat)…sorry…

#1: Congress passes laws.

From how fast you can drive on highways to whether basset hounds should have a national holiday.

#2: Congress decides how to spend our money.

Should we spend our money to go to outer space or to build more national parks?

#3. Congress shapes foreign policy.

The President may be the "Commander in Chief" of the military, but it's Congress that has the power to declare war.

Congress also deals with things like trade policy and foriegn aid.

Congress does a lot…so the next time you go by the US Capitol, you'll know what goes on in there.

And that's another Fact of Congress
