: The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States; he may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices, and he shall have power to Grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.
NO. The power to declare war is specifically given to Congress in Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution.
In fact, it is Congress that is given the power to control the means of making war, in the same section:
"The Congress shall have Power. . .
To declare War, . . .;
To raise and support Armies, but no Appropriation of Money to that Use shall be for a longer Term than two Years;
To provide and maintain a Navy;
To make Rules for the Government and Regulation of the land and naval Forces;
To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions;
To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress; . . ."
The President becomes "Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States," but only "when called into the actual Service of the United States."

Congress was not unwilling to give the President the veto power. Certain members of the Constitutional Convention were. Congress, as we know it today, did not write the Constitution. Some Framers of the Constitution did not favor the veto power, fearing it gave the President too much power of the legislative branch. In fact, many Framers felt the President should simply be an agent of the Congress subject to its direction and control.

This is not is in the constitution. The constitution gives Congress the power to restrict immigration. The president has the power and the duty to enforce immigration laws passed by Congress. I can not tell you exactly what the immigration laws are, but actions of the president concerning immigration must be based on immigration laws. If not, federal courts can rule them void and disallow them.
No, Article I, Section 8 gives the power to declare war to Congreee only. While the President is Commander in Chief of the armed forces, he has no power to "declare war."
