If we are to send Americans into combat, then the Congress should have to approve it.
Huh? It has always been that way. I think you mistake war as being any armed tactic response, war is a matter of size just like city is a matter of population. Every president I have been alive to see has taken small actions to some degree. "War" means massive troops, not drones or support of other country's troops.
Small actions such as air support, training other's troops and drone strikes even by EO have limits and are subject to oversight by both congress and courts. Now if you want to argue that is over used that would be the same argument as the use of the filibuster.
