Was that a formal declaration of war? There are many here who would disagree...

It was an authorization for the use of force, consistent with the war powers act (which itself it unconstitutional, but that is a different issue).

Is there anything in the Constitution limiting the Congress to ONLY authorize the use of US military in what would be described as a "declared war"?
