The US commenced open warfare against North Vietnam in August 1964 (Tonkin Gulf Resolution). But declaration of war has been made by the US since December 11, 1941 against Italy & Germany.
Atomic weapons did not exist in December 1941, therefore war could be declared. After August 1945, nukes existed, no more US declared wars.
