Question 18 • American Government/Civics

How can the President influence the establishment of US foreign policy?

Answer
A
declaring war
B
negotiating treaties
C
increasing spending on foreign aid
D
confirming ambassadors

Explanation

The President can influence foreign policy by negotiating treaties with other countries. A treaty takes effect only after the Senate gives its advice and consent, but the President leads the negotiations. Congress declares war, and the Senate confirms ambassadors, so those are not powers the President exercises alone.
