Our Constitution Sets the Rules http://usforeignpolicy.about.com/od/backgroundhistory/a/whomake sforpol.htm Article II Article II of the Constitution says the president has the power to: make treaties with other countries (with consent of the Senate), appoint ambassadors to other countries (with consent of the Senate) and receive ambassadors from other countries Article II also establishes the president as commander-in-chief of the military, which gives him or her a lot of control over how the United States interacts with the world. As Carl von Clausewitz said, "War is the continuation of diplomacy by other means."
