Congress approved the invasions of AFG and Iraq, you dumb shit. There is no requirement that a formal declaration of war be undertaken for constitutional use of force. The War Powers Act, which is undoubtedly constitutional, sets forth the requirements for the constitutional use of force by the executive. In both AFG and Iraq, that threshold was met. Think before you speak, imbecile.
