The president has no money for troops without the approval of Congress, so he would be limited to the troops who are already funded and any expenses incurred in military operation would have to be paid with money that was appropriated earlier.
The president has a variety of military powers, but mostly in conjunction with the Congress. Although the President has the power to request a declaration of war, he needs a positive vote from the Congress (both the House and the Senate) for war to be declared. However he has the ability under the War Powers Act to send troops to fight for up to 60 days so long as the Congress is advised prior. Additionally, the president is the Commander-in-Chief, meaning he issues orders and guidance to the Joint Chiefs of Staff for them to implement. He is also involved in the budget process, which funds America's wars.

When a president sends troops into combat without a formal declaration of war, it expands executive power, particularly in the realm of military and foreign affairs. This action often reflects an interpretation of the president's role as Commander-in-Chief, allowing for rapid military response without congressional approval. It raises concerns about the balance of power, as it can bypass the legislative authority granted to Congress in declaring war. This trend has implications for executive overreach and the erosion of checks and balances in the U.S. government.
