Which of the following is a responsibility of the United States Congress?

Appointing federal judges.

Enforcing immigration laws.

Declaring war.

The other options are incorrect because

• Option A is incorrect because the responsibility of appointing federal judges falls under the Executive branch of the United States government.

• Option B is incorrect because enforcing immigration laws also falls under the jurisdiction of the Executive branch.

• Option D is incorrect because the responsibility of interpreting the Constitution belongs to the Judicial branch, specifically the Supreme Court.

Declaring war is a responsibility of Congress, as stated in Article I, Section 8 of the United States Constitution, which states that "Congress shall have Power... To declare War." This power is given to Congress because they are representatives of the American people and therefore have the authority to make significant decisions such as declaring war.
