The Constitution's division of powers leaves the President with some exclusive powers as Commander-in-Chief, Congress with certain other exclusive powers, and a sort of "twilight zone" of concurrent powers. Congress also has the power to limit the powers of the President.The Constitution describes the powers of Congress more than those of the president because initially Congress was supposed to rule the country while the president didn't do much.
To declare war, the President is supposed to get permission from Congress. But the President can order a "police action" that is equivalent to a war, without permission from Congress. This kills one of the "checks" Congress has over him.

The citizens vote for the President AND Congress.
Congress and the president.
The president is the commander-in-chief over all military powers in the US. He consults with the military chiefs of staff but he is the commander and they serve at his will. Congress determines what the military will be and appropriates the funding for it.
The President's delegated powers come from Congress. Over the years, the President's powers have been increased due to the complex nature of legislation and the process in which laws are made and executed.
Congress cannot compel the President to testify.
