G2

A) Two formal constitutional powers of the President in making foreign policy are that the president has the power to nominate ambassadors and make treaties with other nations.
B) Two formal constitutional powers of Congress in making foreign policy is that they have the power to declare war and a majority in the Senate confirms the appointments of ambassadors.
C) Two informal powers that the President has over Congress in making foreign policy are: the president is the most well known/associated with the U.S. which influences how other countries view the U.S. They pay more attention to what the president says and the president can make executive agreements; informal treaties with other heads of countries.
D) Being the face of a nation gives you a lot of power. The president has this power, where even in our own country people are more influenced by and pay more attention to the president than congressmen and women. The power the president has of making executive agreements gives him power over congress because it isnt like a treatie which has to be approved by the senate.
