> This is why the US didn't (and doesn't) have direct voting on war declaration

No, it's because the US doesn't have direct voting on any national issue; there is no legal provision for it afaik. US citizens only elect representatives, and they make the decisions.

> a handful of recent presidents decided that even Congress is too slow for them

What are you referring to?

No President before Trump II has entered a war without consulting Congress (and the people) and obtaining their support. After Japan bombed Pearl Harbor - when the US was most in direct peril in the last two centuries - Roosevelt spoke to Congress and the American people, and Congress declared war.

Most wars, however, don't have a formal declaration of war by Congress.
