"Congress shall have power to... declare war." Hey, remember the last time Congress declared war? I don't, because I wasn't alive in the 1940's, which is the last time they did it. The United States has declared war five times (War of 1812, Mexican-American War, Spanish-American War, World War I, World War II). Beyond that, Congress has also authorized funding for many conflicts, including Vietnam, but stopped at all out war. On at least 125 occasions though, the President of the US has acted without any prior authorization from congress. Today, Article 1, Section 8 is assisted by what is known as the "War Powers Resolution", established in the 70's. Unfortunately many President's have been known to ignore this resolution as well.
