There seems always to be a bit of a power struggle between the Legislative and the Executive branches of government. Congress passes legislation that the President is sometimes inclined to veto. Congress can attempt to override the veto, so there is mechanism in place to allow Congress to force its will in spite of an attempt by the Chief Executive to block it. The primary power that Congress has to limit the President's power is control of the Federal pursestrings. Congress decides where money will be spent, and how much.
The President can limit Congress' power by exercising his veto power on their legislation rather than signing it into law.
One way congress can limit the power of the president is by refusing or accepting who the president nominates for the Supreme Court. Congress can also veto a bill the president passes if they get a two thirds majority vote.
The president is commander in chief of all the US military forces. This power is almost without limit. The president always has the final authority over and responsibility for any and all military matters. However, the Constitution does not assign all and absolute war powers to the president. Military power in the United States is held by both the president and Congress, with the president in the dominant position. Also, the president may use the armed forces to keep the domestic peace.
Congress (meaning both the House and the Senate) possess the sole ability to declare war. While the President addresses Congress, he is requesting a declaration of war, and then House and Senate debate and vote. Additionally, the Congress annually votes and approves the budget for Defense Department, as submitted by the president, and they have the ability to increase or decrease the amount requested by the president.
The President has constitutional power to take military action whenever and wherever he believes it is necessary. Any sustained military operation would probably provide additional resources which only Congress can provide.
