Congress has declared war five times:
The War of 1812
The Mexican-American War
The Spanish-American War
World War I
World War II
All other 'wars' have actually been military skirmishes, or conflicts, unconstitutionally and illegally 'declared' by a U.S. President without the official authorization of Congress. -RKO- 09/23/07
