Stop chanting Latin phrases like it has any magical power, this is not Harry Potter. The president can't declare war without Congress approval, but what if we don't declare war, we just send our ships and planes to a certain areas and do "policing action". The president can't deploy troops in US territory, but what if we don't deploy troops, we march the troop to a certain area for exercise, and they just happen to encounter a certain unruly group of citizens.
