Military and War Powers Only Congress has the power to declare War Only the President has the power to order American troops into battle The Five ‘Declared Wars’: The War of 1812, Mexican American War, Spanish American War, World War I, World War II Many military actions (including Vietnam and the current wars in Iraq and Afghanistan) have been authorized by Congress without a formal declaration of war
