Question

Why does the executive branch take the lead in foreign policy decisions?

Answer 1

In the constitution, the President is listed as the person mainly in control of foreign affairs and policies. The president is the leader of the executive branch, making the executive branch in the lead of foreign policy alongside the president. The president is also seen as a spokesperson for the country, so it only makes sense to have them lead us in affairs with other countries. It shows that we are unified and strong.
