Declaring war gives the executive branch almost unlimited powers. There hasn’t been a President since Ike that could be trusted with that.
It wont happen again in our lifetimes.
Did you read the article and my first comment?
A requirement to obtain this Congressional authorization is unreasonable in the modern world in which waiting for Congressional authorization would enable the enemy to engage in extensive destructive activity before US offensive action could take place, and would enable the enemy to better prepared for it. China could invade Taiwan, Iran etc. could launch an comprehensive offensive attack against US and Int. shipping, none of which would fall under under imminent attack, and against which simply defensive actions would not suffice, before Congressional authorization finally came.
Rather, Congress could consider allowing a 36 hour window for the US to engage in retaliatory action to take place while Congress comes together to vote on it.
Congress has not declared war since World War II. Nor has it formally approved, in any meaningful alternative way (except belatedly through the appropriations process), several of the major conflicts the nation has engaged in since then — notably, the Korean War, Vietnam War, Kosovo War, or 2011 Libya operation.In addition, the War Powers Act of 1973 needs revision. The current act only calls for the president to consult Congress before using force. It then effectively allows them free rein for 60 days before requiring congressional support for further action. - https://www.brookings.edu/articles/war-powers-in-the-era-of-joe-biden-and-lloyd-austin/
The War Powers Resolution (also known as the War Powers Resolution of 1973 or the War Powers Act) (50 U.S.C. ch. 33) is a federal law intended to check the U.S. president's power to commit the United States to an armed conflict without the consent of the U.S. Congress. The resolution was adopted in the form of a United States congressional joint resolution...It has been alleged that the War Powers Resolution has been violated in the past, however, Congress has disapproved all such incidents, and no allegations have resulted in successful legal actions taken against a president.[1]. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_Powers_Resolution#Questions_regarding_constitutionality
