What was the reason for planting two fake Homeland Security agents to bribe Jill Biden's Secret Service detail? Why were there imposter agents infiltrating the White House Secret Service? Why might Joe Biden take a trip to Ukraine? Why have all these plans failed? Who is really in control? PANIC!

Presidents don't declare war - only Congress can (and they control the money of course). Presidents can do certain things and call them "police actions" or "skirmishes" but only for a short time unless they receive Authorization for the Use of Military Force (AUMF). The War Powers Act explains this. However; technically you are correct. The President is the Commander in Chief, so even if Congress declares war nobody goes until POTUS says to go.
Even worse - if <insert country here> decides to lob a nuke at us only POTUS can push the red button to respond to the attack. That is surely an act of war, which the Congress likely did not yet declare, but POTUS can hit that button and accept the "invitation" to war without asking anyone.
It's all kind of a mess.
