Yeah, only the congress declares war. thats it. The president: The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States; he may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices, and he shall have Power to Grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment. Nowhere in there does it say he has to report to the congress about any ongoing military operation, whether a result of policy, AUMF, treaty or any other reason. I don't know why you think its unconstitutional for the congress to declare war, and then quote the passage that they declare war by the constitution. I don't follow that, and you could hardly find anyone who disagrees with that. The war powers act is still unconstitutional on its face. War has been declared, and not undeclared. Please review the AUMF. There are no wars that have occurred in the Obama first or second term.
