Isn't the President "required" to get a vote from congress about going to
war? Ever heard of Vietnam?

Ever heard of the Gulf of Tonkin resolution? How about the War Powers Act?

The Revolutionary War, War of 1812, Mexican, Civil War, Spanish - American war,
WW1 and WW2 were the only wars the US ever declared under the Constitution.
Between 1776 and 1976 the U.S. was involved in almost 60 armed conflicts only 6
of which were declared wars.
