On Declaring War
Even when fighting in the Civil War, Lincoln did not ask for a declaration of war against the Confederacy in what turned out to be the bloodiest war in U.S. history. Nor did we (or the United Nations) declare war against North Korea in 1950. Nor did we declare war when Eisenhower and Kennedy committed U.S. forces to aid South Vietnam.
