The President makes war and FP, not the Congress.

Lindy, re Congressional visit by Pelosi and co to Assad and Syria etc, they are the ones who decide on war, NOT the president.

Nope. The President is the Commander in Chief and makes foreign policy, including war. Congress has the power of the purse to fund it or not.
