The President cannot unilaterally declare war without the consent of Congress. The President has to present evidence to Congress that a war would be necessary and legal. Thus Congress acts to check the President's power.

Allows presidents to interpret the Constitution to extend their authority over foreign policy and their ability to use the country's military?

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. The Sec. of State is the principal person involved with foreign policy and any treaties have to be approved by Congress before they go into effect. The constitution provides for a system of checks and balances to make sure no branch is more powerful than another. The president is not a king deciding issues alone.
