You might want to check your facts before you post stupid shit - like Article 1 Section 8 of the Constitution and the War Powers Act of 1973 which both lay down the exact requirements the President must follow in wars.

I dont know where you got your misunderstanding of the law but its way off base

Of course every president that has been involved with a war since Truman has neglected to follow the Constitution - most of them got around it by never actually declaring a "war"
Also your "fact" about the time requirements is wrong - if the President does use force he must inform Congress within 48 HOURs and Congress must then either declare a war or disapprove of it within 90 days - again something they havent done but thats just because most Americans are just as misinformed as you are
