A US President does not have the right to declare war. The most he/she can do in that respect is to request a declaration of war from Congress, to legally persuade members of Congress to vote for the declaration, and to request others to legally persuade members of Congress to vote for the decalration. Congress did vote in favor of the declaration of war, but it was by the smallest margin of any declaration of war in US history.
