An american journalist is being held in a foreign prison. the president is meeting with his administration to determine what to do. the president says, “i approve the use of $500,000 in defense funds to secure the release of the journalist and to ensure his safe return to the united states.” is the president able to make this declaration?

In my honest opinion , i’d say franklin d roosevelt was a president that impacted our nation , i say this because fdr is voted among top three best us presidents and he was the longest serving president by 3 terms , usually presidents only supposed to have two terms increments of 4 years , equivalent to 8 years total before election time. and he established the fdic , through the 1933 banking act and he established the us , social security system , during his presidency, and established a national minimum wage , through the fair labor standards act , fdr led the allied coalition to victory in wwii and he played a major role in the creation of the united nations.
