An example of when the president committed troops abroad after consulting Congress?

The First Barbary War is an example of when the president committed troops abroad after Congress. In 1801, Congress had approved legislation that gave the president six frigates to direct as he wished if the Barbary powers declared war on the US. Shortly after Thomas Jeffersonâ??s inauguration, the Pasha made a demand to increase the tribute the US government was paying to keep their ships safe from pirates. Jefferson refused and the Pasha declared war on the US. Jefferson consulted Congress, who authorized him to instruct the vessels. There was no formal declaration of war.
