'''National security''' refers to the measures taken by a [[government]] to protect the [[nation]] from attacks. It is vital for a country to be able to protect itself and defend from attacks, but tyranny can be forced upon a population under the excuse of national security.
In the [[United States]] national security resides in the [[Executive Branch]], and legislation has been enacted creating a [[National Security Council]] (NSC) and a [[National Security Agency]]. The members of the NSC are department and agency heads requiring [[Senate]] confirmation. The legislation is intended to give the President of the United States the ability to fulfil his oath to "preserve, protect, and defend" the national security of the United States.
A National Security Council staff serves the president within the White House compound, and is part of the personal staff of the president, not requiring Senate approval.
