Since the powers of the Federal government are narrowly defined in the US Constitution, where in it is the Congress allowed to transfer powers to the Executive branch?

What power did Congress transfer? Surely not the power to declare war. But I'm amenable to convincing. Show me the document that transfers that power to the POTUS.

In reality what they are doing is declaring war. The consent of Congress and the execution by the President is all it takes. The people can exercize their power by throwing out the bums on November 5th, but since the people support the war, that isn't gonna happen. The Checks and Balances are in place, and the system is working. If Iraq doesn't disarm and submit to full inspections there shall be war.
