	Description:		Article I, Section 8, of the U.S. Constitution provides: "The Congress shall have the power... To declare war..." Article II, Section 2, provides: "The President shall be commander in chief of the Army and Navy of the United States..." The distinction could not be clearer: Congress is not the Commander in Chief, and the President has no power to declare war.
