What Article II are you reading? Certainly not the Article II in the US constitution. Please, I'd LOVE to see where it gives the POTUS the right to declare war. Please educate the rest of us.
Specifically.....show us where it gives the aforementioned power.

Maybe you have a special Heritage Foundation edition?
