President George Bush actually went to Congress and got Congress's approval for the use of Military Force, which is a type of war declaration. There were actually at least three such war authorizations that would apply to Iraq. Any one of them would have been well within the requirement of the Constitution.
The "Authorization for Use of Military Force against Iraq" was approved by Congress in October 2002.
Congress had previously given the Commander-in-Chief a very general authority for the War on Terror, which would include war in or against Iraq, which was a known and proven supporter and haven for terrorists. That authorization was granted just after 9/11.
And George W. Bush could have invaded Iraq under authority of the Iraq War resolution of 1991 that his father G. H. W. Bush had been granted by Congress. Why? Because Saddam had never surrendered in that war, since the end of the active campaigns to take back Kuwait there had been a series of ceasefires, breakings of the ceasefire, and continuing missile and air raids by the US to enforce the ceasefire agreements -- the war was in low-grade sort-of-pause but it was still a war. That's not a "loophole"!
