Congress has been happily shedding its powers for decades. They don't want to be held responsible if a war turns out badly, so they haven't declared a war since 1945, I believe.

WWII ended in 1945. The last time the US officially declared war was June 4, 1942. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Declaration_of_war_by_the_Unit...

The last US declaration of war was in 1942, against Hungary, Bulgaria, and Romania (allies of Nazi Germany).
