Ummmm...

There's an old parchment that gives the authority to the president...With the consent of Congress...which WAS given through House Resolution 114 in October, 2002....

Now if you want to say "the people" indirectly decide because they elected the president and the congress that provided consent, than "sure"...But to say the decision BELONGS to the people?...Nope...
