Congress is the only group that can declare war. However with the War Powers Act of 1973, it is possible for the present to unilaterally dispatch American troops into combat under certain circumstances and for a finite time if Congress is advised of his actions. This was been stretched by President George W. Bush who sent troops to Iraq in 2003 for a conflict that lasted eight years.
