Q. "Who has the power to declare?"
A. "Only congress has the power to declare war."
I thought the the President could declare war for 30 days, but then needed Congressional approval for longer. Can someone clarify please.

<i>Supposedly</i> the ol' 30 day war thing isn't an official declaration of war. They usually call those "conflicts." Like how even though it was much longer than 30 days, because there was never officially a war declaration, they call it the "Vietnam Conflict" in some textbooks and such.
