That’s how it was meant to work. The president didn’t get to order wars like this until after the 1940s.
Congress should only allow the president to act alone only if the homeland is directly attacked by another nation. Not a terrorist from another country, bona fide military forces. And maybe a handful of limited exceptions that directly impact US soil.
Otherwise we should deliberate and take time to think before getting involved in foreign wars. We have no right to try to police the world and it’s a massive waste of resources
Especially considering that the Iraq situation has no urgency. It was developing for at least a decade. There was and is more than enough time to go the official route.
