Answer:

The Constitution of the United States establishes in Article One that it is the power of Congress to issue formal declarations of war to foreign nations. Therefore, the President cannot carry out this task, but depends precisely on the actions of Congress. In turn, in case of contravening said rule, the Supreme Court will be in charge of nullifying said actions by the President.
