Presidential Systems Questions
In a presidential system, the handling of foreign policy is primarily the responsibility of the president. The president is the chief diplomat and has the authority to negotiate treaties, appoint ambassadors, and represent the country on the international stage. They also have the power to make executive agreements with other nations without requiring approval from the legislative branch. However, the president may consult with advisors, such as the Secretary of State, and seek input from Congress on major foreign policy decisions. Ultimately, the president has significant autonomy in shaping and implementing foreign policy in a presidential system.
