Explain why the President of the United States was unable to declare war on Japan following the attacks on US Military Base at Pearl Harbor. How do the Presidential powers as Commander in Chief of the armed forces balance with the congressional powers for the United States Military?

The attack on Pearl Harbor left more than 2,400 Americans dead and shocked the nation, sending shockwaves of fear and anger from the West Coast to the East. The following day, President Franklin D. Roosevelt addressed Congress, asking them to declare war on Japan, which they did by an almost-unanimous vote.
