Power to Declare War

            In the United States of America, the power to declare war is only given to Congress. The reason why the president or vice president or anyone else was given the power to declare war is because the United States doesn’t want to have a war just because one person says they have to.

            This way, the majority of the people declare war because the representatives of Congress get consent from the people to vote. This was a brilliant way to do it and a great idea that the founders came up with.
