Expressed Powers......
o.O
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.
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.
One of the powers that the president shares with the senate is to appoint judges. Another power that they both share is to enter into treaties with other countries.
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.
The two powers or roles of the president are being the commander in chief of the military and power to appoint public officials. These are the powers that have been expressed by the constitution.
Officially, only Congress can declare war. If the President sends troops to another country without a declaration of war, the president is using his executive power as Commander-in-Chief of the nation's military.

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.
