I disagree.

If the congress grants the commander in chief War Powers Act authorization to use military force and also continues to vote to fund the use of that military force then that is obviously a de-facto declaration of war.

What congress does, doesn't negate their responsibility under Article 1 Section 8 of the constitution. The War Powers Act is merely a cop out by congress.
