the constitution grants the president the autority to direct the military as the Commander in Chief. the current president is opperating in that roll to the letter of the law as outlined by the constitution.
you are factually wrong on this subject. Americas 2 current conflicts fall well within the confines of the Constitution.

Where does the Constitution say Congress gets to make law regarding American military intervention in foreign nations other than a declaration of war?
FROM THE RELEVANT ARTICLE OF THE CONSTITUTION, CONGRESS HAS THE POWER:
To make Rules for the Government and Regulation of the land and naval Forces;
To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions;
To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States
