Correct answer: sent airstrikes and thousands of troops without a declaration of war.
Explanation: Clinton used his inherent commander-in-chief powers to authorize NATO airstrikes (notably Operation Deliberate Force in 1995) and to commit U.S. forces to NATO peacekeeping (IFOR/SFOR) after the Dayton Accords, without a formal congressional declaration of war. (The War Powers Resolution requires notification and limits, but does not require a declaration of war and does not give the president unlimited authority.)
