This is incorrect. While only Congress may formally declare war, under 50 US ยง1543, the President may initiate limited military action without prior Congressional approval so long as he delivers a report to Congress within 48 hours of commencing the action. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/50/1543
