You are thinking of the War Powers Act. Congress can at anytime cut funding to a military operation that it decides has run its course no matter what mechanism the war is being waged under. The executive has complete control as to resources and their use while war is being waged and congresses continued support. You folk need to get a better straw man than this "declaration of war" drivel. The truth is, Ron Paul would vote against a DOW just as he voted against the joint resolution. You would too. If anyone’s powers have been usurped since the advent of the War Powers Act it is the Executive not the Legislative.
By what I remember of the "Authorization of Force," Congress specified that the Authorization was subject to the provisions of the War Powers Act (the six month rule), and also said "unless a Declaration of War is granted."

That's what President Nixon said would happen when he vetoed it.
