The constitution allows for no such thing. The constitution is pretty crystal clear that only the congress can declare war.
The congress passed a law saying the president can take military action that then comes under review by the congress. The President can do that without a declaration of war.
This power the president has is one granted by the legislature not by the constitution.

Okay, so I was wrong about the particulars. But, the president does have the power to take military actions. Just like he did.
