WWII was the last declared war fought by the US.
There was no US declaration of war during the US Civil War (Amerian Civil War). No US declaration of war for any wars after December 1941.
Congress never accepted the declaration, it was made before the USA became a country , and it was meant for the british.
Congress approved all US wars; they supply the money!
Congress is supposed to declare war. But, in recent years there have been many "Conflicts" where the US does not declare was against any country, but just sends soldiers with Congress's consent. The last time the United States declared war against Another Country was World War II.
No one. The United States was not a country yet. However, John Hancock was President of the Continental Congress when the Declaration of Independence was signed.

Declaration of war is an example of a prohibited power of states. Only the federal government can declare war against another country. Administering elections is another example; this is a power of states, not the federal government.
Declare War on another Country
We celebrate the Declaration of Independence against Great Britain.
By writing and signing the Declaration of Independence, the 2nd Continental Congress declared the 13 colonies colonies no longer, but states in a country independent from England.
Only Congress can declare war. Presidents can ask Congress to declare war . The presidents who made such a request and had it granted were James Madison (against Great Britain), James Polk (against Mexico), William McKinley(against Spain), Woodrow Wilson (against Germany and allies) and Franklin Roosevelt (against Japan and allies)
yes they can. only congress has the power to do it. the president has no power to declare war
