Article I, Section 8 gives Congress the power to "declare War . . .", but nowhere does it say that the president can't, nor does it say that the Congress has the sole authority.

"Section 1. All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives."

A right that is vested with a group of persons is a right that only those persons enjoy.

Ahem . . . my comment that Constitution does not deny the President the power to declare war followed a pretty clear "tongue in cheek" intro.

FWIW, "rights" are often not exclusively possessed, nor should they be. "Powers," OTOH, should be expressly granted, and then to only one entity, so that responsibility for consequences of exercising the power can be assigned.
