Who is constitutionally authorized to decide if Obama is an enemy?

No one, which means everyone is. But as with other questions of Constitutional interpretation, the Courts generally have the last word.

Article III

Section. 1. The judicial Power of the United States shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish. The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour, and shall, at stated Times, receive for their Services a Compensation, which shall not be diminished during their Continuance in Office.

Section. 2. The judicial Power shall extend to all Cases, in Law and Equity, arising under this Constitution, the Laws of the United States, and Treaties made, or which shall be made, under their Authority; — to all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls; — to all Cases of admiralty and maritime Jurisdiction;

The Congress established the military *courts* just as much as it did the civilian courts.

Since Obama has not been declared an enemy by a court, your previous argument regarding an Officer's oath of allegiance is moot.
