1. Khanna and Massie

Intend to force a vote on a resolution to require congressional authority for declarations of war. Unfortunately that will be next week. Likely after that syphilis riddle diaper shit fires on Iran.

6. When Was the Last Time Congress Declared War?

find the answer to that and you'll have the answer to your questions.

Hint: I'm 80 years old, and the last time there was a declaration of war was before I was born. Not long before, but before.

Congress gave up declaring war long ago. That's just a formality now that isn't needed apparently.
