Congress has the ability to declare war, but a formal declaration of war has not been made since World War II, even though they are still called wars. Also the president is allowed to use military force that must be approved on a 60-day basis under the War Powers Act and must notify Congress within 48 hours that he has done so, which is how every war since the Korean War has functioned, and several wars before did as well.
