The Constitution does not assign all war powers to the President. In order to prevent unnecessary wars, the Congress and President each have unique war powers. War is declared by Congress, but the President is Commander in Chief and makes decisions in the war.
The office of the president is the highest position in the executive branch of government in many countries. The president is responsible for leading the country, making important decisions, and representing the nation both domestically and internationally. The specific powers and responsibilities of the president vary depending on the country and its constitution.
The US Constitution states the powers of the President. Laws passed by Congress and court decisions have since defined more exactly the powers of the president.

One clear advantage of allowing a US president in the 1790's to exercise broad powers concerning external threats was the fact that time was of great importance when it could take a month for the US Congress to convene. If immediate action was required to prevent a foreign disaster, then an executive decision regarding decisions on war and peace were justified. And, when Congress was convened, proper discussions regarding a president's decisions could be examined.

Andrew Johnson inherited the presidency after Lincoln's assination. This was during post civil war era, and though he had ambitions for reconstructing the South, he struggled with Congress to the point when Congress basically had complete control over his decisions as President. Thus leading to his absence in the following election due to the fact that Congress refused to let him make decisions regarding not just reconstruction in the South but as well as anything else.
