Many believe that the President has control over warfare. However, this is not completely true. In order for The United States to declare war upon another nation, Congress must pass the motion to declare war. For an example of when this is proven, I am referring you to President Franklin Delano Roosevenlt's speech following the attack on Pearl Harbor during WWII. FDR clearly asks Congress to declare war on Japan. Did you know that Japan attacked Pearl Harbor because of an oil embargo set up by The United States? ~Apple Juice

Even if that were not the case, Article I, Section 8 gives Congress the power to declare war and the Supremacy Clause in Article VI makes those decisions binding on the states. Notably, the preamble also speaks about providing for the common defense.
