Answer 1

Answer:

One limitation on the President's foreign policy power is that he can make foreign treaties but he has to present them in from of the Senate for approval. The branch of government that places this check on the President’s foreign policy power is thus, the United States Congress.

Explanation:

• Though the President of the United States serves as the supreme head of the government, the principles of distribution of power and checks and balances are ultimately applied to him too.
• This distribution of power is deemed to be necessary as it prevents an individual from overpowering the majority of officials that work under him.
• Hence, the foreign policy power of the President can thus be deemed to be 'limited'.
