| | Declaration of war by the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The only country against which the United States has declared war more than once is Germany, against which the United States has declared war twice (though a case could be made for Hungary as a successor state to Austria-Hungary). | | | Instead of formal war declarations, the United States Congress has begun issuing authorizations of force. | | | In the case of major conflicts, however, debate is centered around the aforesaid words of the United States Constitution. |

| | Declaration of war - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The United Nations has issued Security Council Resolutions that declared some wars to be legal actions under international law, most notably Resolution 678, authorizing war with Iraq in 1991. | | | Typically a full declaration must be ratified by various legislative bodies, but 'authorized use of force' may allow an elected head of state to directly initiate forceful action without further consultation. | | | A declaration of war is a formal declaration issued by a national government indicating that a state of war exists between that nation, and one or more others. |

| | The Washington Monthly |
| | Moreover, the fact that the WPR takes care to distinguish between declarations of war on one hand and specific statutory authorization on the other seems to suggest that a mere statutory authorization does not give the Executive the "war powers" that a declaration would. | | | It's my position that the War Powers Resolution may be unconstitutional, but even if is isn't the open-ended AUMF passed by Congress hardly seems like the specific statutory authorization contemplated by the drafters of the WPR, and so it may be illegal on those grounds despite the explicit language to the contrary contained therein. | | | We fought the Quasi-War against France in 1798 which was not a decalared war but authorized by congress. |

| | Why Won't Congress Declare War? |
| | Yet Congress in general, and the committee in particular, have done everything possible to avoid making such a declaration. | | | One Republican member stated that the constitutional requirement that Congress declare war is an anachronism and should no longer be followed, while a Democratic member said that a declaration of war would be "frivolous." I don’t think most Americans believe our Constitution is outdated or frivolous, and they expect Congress to follow it. | | | By transferring its authority to declare war to the President and ultimately the UN, Congress not only violates the Constitution, but also disenfranchises the American people. |
