Correct, and congress hasn't been exercising that power for the better part of a century now. The War Powers Resolution was 1973, for example.

I don't know what the exact solution is, but something needs to change in the structure and incentives of congress to incentivize them to exercise power again. Eliminating the filibuster and drastically increasing the total number of representatives seem like the best ways to me, but I'm open yo other possibilities.
