Final answer:

Since World War II, presidents have not sought a declaration of war from Congress. The last official declaration of war by Congress was in 1942.


Explanation:

Since World War II, presidents have never asked Congress for (or received) a declaration of war. Instead, they rely on open-ended congressional authorizations to use force in various military engagements. The last time Congress officially declared war was in 1942 following Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor, bringing the United States into World War II.
