Best Answer

By the War Powers Resolution.

The President's war making power is limited by the Constitutional provision that only Congress has the power to declare war even though the President is the commander in chief of the armed forces.

The War Powers Act actually increases rather than limits the President's power in military matters by allowing him to deploy troops in combat for a only for a limited period of time without a declaration of war by Congress.
