Used to be a time when Congress made foreign policy. Oh, how fast they grow up... (sheds tear)

Congress does have the exclusive power to declare war, but they've delegated that over the years with various authorizations for the use of military force or for police actions.

Congress is responsible for all formal declarations of war. I think it was Truman who started the concept, but JFK who truly exploited it.
