What are the formal and informal foreign policy powers of the president? Are any of these contested? If so, who contests them, and for what reasons?
What will be an ideal response?
Answers should include the formal presidential powers: commander in chief of the armed forces; negotiation of treaties; recognition of foreign governments; and appointment of cabinet members, ambassadors, and staff. Answers should also include the informal powers: control of information, political party leader, national constituency, always in session, and the bureaucracy’s CEO. Discussion of contestation should include Congress, bureaucratic politics, and global pressures and changes.
