no :)
In the USA a act of war is declared by congress.
If you are referring to the US president, I understand he must have the approval of Congress to declare a war.
No, but the president can use military forces, and propose it to congress. congress is the only one who can declare war.
In the United States, only Congress has the power to declare war. This authority is granted by the Constitution to ensure that the decision to go to war is a deliberate and collective one.
Yes. Only Congress can officially declare war, and only congress can authorize funding of the military. However, Presidents can authorize military action/deployment without the consent of Congress. It is then left to congress to either support the President's decision by funding the deployment and/or declaring war, or not.
Declaring war is not one of the president's powers. Congress is the only one to have the power to declare war.
Declare War on another Country
The President can't declare war because in the Constitution that power is given to the Congress as part of the checks and balances system.No.No. It is Congress who can but hasn't since World War II and meekly approve Presidential "actions" of one sort or another and it is the President as the Commander in Chief who can send armies into "action".No it first congress has to pass the bill then it goes to the president to sigh. The President can ask congress to declare war, but he can't declare war congress only can.
The limitation of presidential powers is suggested not only by what the president can do but also by what Congress can do. One example is that the president can propose war (U.S. Const., Art. II, Sec. 3), but only Congress can declare it (U.S. Const., Art. I, Sec. 8). A second example is that the president can make treaties only when 2/3 of the Senate agree (U.S.Const., Art. II, Sec. 2).
