This article was my starting place. Interesting:

One thing that doesn't appear to have been asserted by anyone but the felon is that it is unconstitutional to seek congressional authorization. That is quite different from argument about where the line between congressional war powers and executive authority to act to defend against attack or threat "should" be, and whether the war powers resolution is an infringement.
