The annexation of Alaska was a controversial topic in Congress during the mid 1800's. The decision to add it to the United States as a territory was decided by one vote in Congress. The individuals who voted against the annexation felt it was a waste of time and money. They gave it nicknames like "Seward's Folly" (named after Secretary of State William Seward) and "Johnson's Polar Bear Garden" (After president Andrew Johnson who approved of the annexation).
The conclusion is that although a US president can technically send troops into a foreign country, in order to lawfully declare war, he or she must get the approval of Congress.
