When we sign away a right, the legal document explicitly acknowledges the right being waived. If any treaty waives the right of Congress to declare war, language to that effect should be in the treaty.

And it does not.

The provisions of the NATO charter obligate us to treat an attack upon a member State as an attack upon the USA.

After an attack upon the USA (like at Pearl Harbor, or 9-11) Congress is still the possessor of the power to declare war.

They are the only ones with this power under the Constitution.
