By the War Powers Resolution.

The President's war making power is limited by the Constitutional provision that only Congress has the power to declare war even though the President is the commander in chief of the armed forces.

The War Powers Act actually increases rather than limits the President's power in military matters by allowing him to deploy troops in combat for a only for a limited period of time without a declaration of war by Congress.

How did presidents use military force to expand executive powers in the 20th century?

In the 20th century, U.S. presidents increasingly employed military force to expand executive powers, often bypassing Congress. Notable examples include the use of military interventions in Korea and Vietnam, where presidents asserted their authority to act decisively in foreign affairs without formal declarations of war. This trend was further solidified by the War Powers Resolution of 1973, which sought to limit presidential war-making powers but ultimately underscored the executive's ability to engage militarily in conflicts. As a result, presidents have often claimed a broader interpretation of their constitutional powers concerning military action, shaping the balance of power between the executive and legislative branches.
