Ted the constitution is unclear on this matter. I would be better to get congressional approval rather then go in to a constitutionally gray area but it doesn't lay out all the specifics. The constitution doesn't really anticipate undeclared wars. You could argue that because it does not mention undeclared wars that no such war can be waged without violating the constitution but 1 - All of our post WWII wars and some of the earlier ones have been undeclared and 2 - If you are going to be that strict in asserting that the government can not do what is not expressly constitutionally authorized you would have to throw out over half of what it now does.
