So in your thinking, the President can wage war against the American people without authorization from Congress, but not enemies overseas

Washington's actions were authorized by the Calling Forth Act and the Insurrection Act.

Lincoln's war on the Southern states was completely unjustified.

So no, I do not believe the President can make war on Americans on his own, either.

Your belief did not stop Clinton at Waco.
