In the United States, Congress holds the power to declare war as outlined in Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution. This authority requires a formal vote by both the House of Representatives and the Senate. While Congress has the power to declare war, the President, as Commander-in-Chief, can engage in military actions without a declaration of war, leading to debates over the balance of power in military decisions. The War Powers Resolution of 1973 was enacted to clarify and limit the President's ability to commit U.S. forces without congressional approval.
