Political/Cultural Effects

When Reagan and Congress Disagree? Nicaragua: Boland Amendment restricts aid to Contras (1984) Administration funds them covertly Iran: Legislation prohibiting US arms sales to Iran Sells weapons to Iran in exchange for hostages held by Hezbollah-related groups

Big Picture Issue Congress has the power to restrict US government spending Can the President ignore those restrictions? Can President ignore aspects of law President does not agree with? If so, does Congress have any role to shape foreign policy? If so, do we have checks and balances?

The Iran Contra Scandal (for reference only) Private US $ Foreign Gov’t $ $$$ Hostages weapons Swiss bank accounts; controlled by North Iran US Israel

Key Phrase of 2nd Boland Amendment: (1984-1986) ( for reference only) ''No funds available to the Central Intelligence Agency, the Department of Defense or any other agency or entity of the United States involved in intelligence activities may be obligated or expended for the purpose or which would have the effect of supporting, directly or indirectly, military or paramilitary operations in Nicaragua by any nation, group, organization, movement or individual.” From: NY TIMES on line: http://www.nytimes.com/1987/07/16/world/iran-contra-hearings-text-of-key-amendment.html?pagewanted=1; For Excerpts and explanation, from US Government Accountability Office – GAO, http://redbook.gao.gov/14/fl0067296.php

Legislative Limits on Arms Sales (for reference only) Arms Export Control Acts No arms sales to nations determined to be sponsors of terrorism (US State Dept determines which nations fit into this category; it included Iran) No arms sales of over $25 m in value without congressional approval (1974); A 1976 bill lowered this to $14 m for sophisticated weaponry and $50 m for other items Both the House and Senate would have to reject the arms sales
