Agree

No, Congress should approve all military conflicts

Federalists would generally agree with the idea that Congress should approve all military conflicts, as they believe in a system of checks and balances and a limited executive branch. This score is not a strong agreement because federalists may also recognize the need for swift action in certain situations, and the question specifically mentions Al-Qaeda, which has been a significant threat to national security.
