Ever since the country's first war as a sovereign nation against the British Empire in 1812, the US's process for declaring and waging war has dramatically shifted. It used to be that fighting a war required the passage of a Congressional bill. Today, a simple presidential authorization of force is often all that's needed to send US troops into harm's way.
