"Article 1, section 8 grants congress the power to declare war, among many other powers."

Correct. Your point?

"Any authorization by congress satisfies the provision."

Not necessarily. That isn't clear at all. In the past, the justification used was it was a police action and swift action was necessary. That wasn't even tried in the Iraq war. And, even then, it is a pretty controversial justification.
