A lack of judicial review in the Supreme Court does not negate the Supreme Courts ability to settle disputes. These are not the same thing. The Supreme Court does not have the power to strike down laws, nowhere is it granted that authority.
Congress limits the Presidents ability to use force via its authority to declare war and its authority to raise or not raise taxes. Further, Congress has the authority to raise and provide for the army and the militia.
