While the President is commander-in-chief of the armed forces, and can send them into combat without a congressional declaration of war, the War Powers Act purportedly limits this ability (though it has never actually been followed, and every President who has taken office since its enactment has claimed that the law is unconstitutional).

Presidents are NOT allowed to interpret the constitution and they are the Commander in Chief of the military. To use the military they need permission of Congress and can't just put them somewhere.
