Yes, however, the President has the authority to order the military into action. Once US Military forces have been deployed to secure the US, it becomes difficult for the US Congress to either end the military action or to off funds required to keep the military action going.
The so-called Gulf of Tonkin Resolution provides the US president with a wide range of war making actions. This has been confirmed by the US Supreme Court. And, even when one party in Congress has enough votes to change that "Tonkin" resolution it never does. This places great power in the hands of the executive branch. Surely the Framers never intended to leave the US Congress out of US foreign affairs.

∙ 14y agoThe U. S. Conress, not the President (excepting of course a Replubican Congress and GWB, here the VP Dick Chaney can talk GWB into finishing 'his daddy's war"). Hopefully this sad chapter in American Histroy will not be repeated. However since this is the best Congress 'Money can buy-see the Bailout' I hold no hope.
