That hasn't stopped any president in the last 60 years from using the Armed Forces to conduct a war -- or "police action" -- if you prefer.

You picked a bad example, as both Korea and Vietnam had congressional authorization.
Obama drone wars would be the one to look at.

Congress hasn't declared war after WWII. I suppose that's why you used the euphemism "congressional authorization"; instead of what was intended by the folks that wrote the constitution -- a declaration of war.
