      Congress decided quite a while ago that presidents are allowed to have a little war, as a treat, and only seek approval for it later. It’s been this way at least since the '90s and likely before.

          You can if you want to, I guess. No one called for impeachment because Obama bombed Syrian weddings and schools.

              Take no heed. Americans only think politics extend as far as their two party system and think it’s binary too.

              (I know I’m generalising and not all Americans are as I described here)

          Then they are ruled by a dictator. Congress doesn’t have a say. Courts and judges don’t have a say. That’s dictatorship.

            No dictator rules alone. Judges, generals, congressmen, CEO’s, they’re all a part of the equation.

            There is always a system and a group of people that enable it, and can also disable it.
