That's not saying his troops didn't try to frag him.

Stop it right there.

That shit just didn't happen and you need to quit that myth.

I find no “mention” of it anywhere in Article 1 Section 8 of the Constitution.

You would have found a great deal of information along with supporting text if you had bothered following the link provided.

I have only found that a “Declaration of war” must exist. I have found no parameters or limitations on what a “Declaration of war” is. Please give references from the US Constitution.

For historical documentation, try Article I, Section 8, Clause 11

Here are the contemporary legal definitions

declaration
n. 1) any statement made, particularly in writing. 2) a written statement made "under penalty of perjury" and signed by the declarant, which is the modern substitute for the more cumbersome affidavit, which requires swearing to its truth before a notary public.

resolution
n. a determination of policy of a corporation by the vote of its board of directors. Legislative bodies also pass resolutions, but they are often statements of policy, belief or appreciation, and not always enactment of statutes or ordinances.

A Declaration of War is a written, sworn testimony that the undersigned parties intend, in truth, to do something. It is a legally binding affidavit.

A Resolution of Force, on the other hand, is an unsigned, unwitnessed statement. It is NOT legally binding, so it carries no force in law whatsoever. For all practical purposes, it's just somebody's opinion.

I prolly should. I remember the Jane Fonda speech where it started. Amazing. Exactly like Kerry, she just made it up.
