Even if we grant your arguments, it’s congress that has the power to declare war for a casus belli, not the President.

- IG_Semmelweiss 10mo agoThen you get into the contorted question of whether what just happened, is war. It is certainly an act of war. De Jure we do need congress' permission for war, as you stated. You are correct. De facto, limited interventions (especially, special ops missons) have not had a need for congress for a while now.
