What does the president have to do to declare war?
According to the Constitution...The President does not have any power to declare war. That power was given exclusively to the Congress. This was meant to keep the President in check.If that power was given to or allowed to be executed by the President, he would become a Dictator in due time, once he realized the power he had. He could declare a war, attack anyone he chose with his army, and take over the country/world.The President can ask Congress for a Declaration of War, but the Congress is supposed to vote on declaring that war or not.Unfortunately these days the whole process works backwards, only because "we the people" let it happen. The President attacks a country, then asks Congress to declare the war. He gives himself controlling powers that were not delegated to him by the Constitution.Sounds like the beginning of a dictatorship to me!

What role does the congress have in checking presidential abuse of power?
Congress has the right to approve or disapprove items in the president's budget request. The Senate has the right to approve or disapprove the president's appointments. Congress has the right to impeach and convict the President or Fire the President. Thus, congress has a lot of power. The founding fathers at the Constitutional Convention assumed that congress and not the President would take the leading role in the Federal Government. However, the inability of the politicians in Congress to work together made that original vision impossible. Thus, the president holds much of the power he holds by default. Just because Congress has not been able to get its act together for 220 years does not mean that will forever be the case.
