The correct response is:

**to limit the president’s ability to send troops into combat.**

The War Powers Resolution, passed in 1973, was enacted to ensure that Congress has a role in the decision to engage U.S. forces in hostilities, thereby checking the president's power to commit the nation to armed conflict without Congressional approval.
