Abstract
The powers to formulate foreign policy had been divided between
the president and the Congress with an object to achieve
continuity, coherence, and consistency in foreign policy. Both
have opportunity to change features of foreign policy, to
approach complete process and to execute and implementation
of foreign policy. The formation of US foreign policy is more
difficult and complex, and the support of these two branches is
required for the making of strong and effective foreign policy.
Check and balance is the key feature of relations between the
President and Congress. This is the most important feature of the
US political system in order to prevent the one organ of
Government to become so powerful to impose its hegemony and
the domination over the other. The dispersal of power over
foreign policy puts a heavy premium on consultation,
coordination, and cooperation by these two important organs of
US Government.
