What are the three drawbacks to the White House-centered model of foreign policy making? How did the creation of the Executive Office of the President (EOP) expand the White House’s power?

What will be an ideal response?


Answers should identify how the White House-centered model consists largely of political appointees not subject to Senate confirmation, thus depriving Congress a constitutional means of advice and consent. Secondly, the White House-centered model tends to be highly secretive. Lastly, answers should identify how the creation and expansion of White House agencies has led to redundancy in the foreign policy process. Answers should address how the establishment of the EOP led to this creation and expansion of White House agencies, leading to a “presidential branch separate from the executive branch” and giving the president an independent policy-making center.
