Art I Sec 8:

“The Congress shall have Power . . . To declare War”

Nowhere will you find a clause that gives that Power to the President. Therefore, he is dependent on Congress to declare War. An AUMF is not a Declaration of War, though it has been used as such for many years.

But remember, I challenged you to provide proof of your claim that Bush had a Declaration of War, So far, you have not provided anything.
