Original Note:
This is false. Only Congress can declare war, but as Commander in Chief, the president has broad powers to introduce the US Armed Forces into hostilities. The War Powers Act of 1973 was supposed to restrict those powers, but has not been very effective. https://www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-underappreciated-legacy-of-the-war-powers-resolution
