Our Constitution does not spend a lot of time detailing foreign policy powers. We know the president can appoint ambassadors, negotiate treaties and use executive agreements in our relations with other governments. But beyond that, what is the role of the presidency? What are the checks and balances with the other branches? What do we mean when we say foreign policy is an "inherent" power? To walk us through this complex power, we are pleased to have Dr. James S. Robbins as our guest this week. Dr. Robbins is Dean of Academics, Institute of World Politics ; Senior Fellow in National Security Affairs at the American Foreign Policy Council; and Former special assistant in the Office of the Secretary of Defense.
