Remember Vietnam?
The president has the power to deploy the military even without a declaration
In the sense that if you take power you don't deserve you have it
This is why Congress passed the War Powers Resolution. It's an open question whether the law matters.
Every President says they are not constrained, Congress says that they are. The Supreme Court says, "this is a political question, not a legal question, so the executive and legislative have to sort it out".
The Supreme Court lied when they said that btw
Then it’s no longer a constitutional problem, I think the poster should know better
