How does CONGRESS effect us in the world today?
Interestingly enough, the House has little impact on Foreign Policy, except through "sense of the house" resolutions, Budget hearings and resolutions affecting State Department and Military,and House financial operations overall, (House proposes, Senate Disposes). The Senate's position of "Advise and Consent" is where some believe real power in Foreign Policy resides, since the Senate must approve Treaties proposed by the President and State Department. It wasn't always that way either, since the Senate prerogative to propose Amendments or changes to Treaties, and even language additions to treaty Preambles to satisfy certain Senate critics-at times Republican, at times Democrat-regarding the intent and actual purpose of a specific treaty, have mostly arisen during the twentieth century. In other ways the U.S. representative bodies-House and Senate, have varying degrees of impact depending on the Chairmanship and Membership of the various standing committees-Foreign Affairs, Intelligence, Appropriations, and many more. Even subcommittees of the House and Senate standing committees get in the act with hearings and investigations. SO, overall I would suggest that although Foreign Policy is the purview of the President and State Department, Congress has much more of an impact today than even a generation ago.
Can the house of representatives make a treaty with a foreign country?

Compare the leadership organization in the House of Representatives with that of the Senate?
In the American "republican" form of government, the House and the Senate are intentionally devised to work and to lead differently. Several basic differences of importance are the following: Representatives (in the House) are elected for only two-year terms at a time and, as a group, are especially focused on domestic affairs. Senators (in the Senate) are elected for six-year terms at a time and, as a group, generally focus on foreign policy.
What are the responsibilities of the Secretary of the State?
The secretary of state is the administrator of the Department of State and the principal spokesperson for the President on U.S. foreign policy. The secretary serves as a member of the President's "inner cabinet" of advisers and, by law, as a member of the National Security Council. The secretary has the primary responsibility for preparing the budget for foreign affairs programs, including diplomatic missions, foreign aid to developing nations, and contributions to multinational organizations such as the World Bank, the Inter-American Development Bank, and the International Monetary Fund. The secretary defends foreign affairs programs before subcommittees of the House and Senate Appropriations Committees and is the principal spokesperson for the administration before the House Foreign Affairs Committee and Senate Foreign Relations Committee. The President may also assign the secretary to communicate foreign policy to foreign heads of state or to serve as the principal U.S. diplomat at international conferences. Source: Answers.com

Why is the president generally considered to have a more dominant role in foreign policy than in domestic policy?
Congress controls domestic policy and Congress includes the lower House of Representatives which stands for election every other year and is generally closer to the every day problems that are the basis for domestic policy. A Congressman serves a relatively small district with limited issues, and it is to his district that he owes his job. He is not likely to sacrifice the needs of his district for the good of the president or even the country, However, in foreign policy, the President has only to please the Senate. Senators serve for 6 years and serve an entire state,and so are less provincial and more inclined to listen to reason and the voice of the President. Moreover, the President controls the state department, commands the military and is the one that foreign leaders visit and talk to . As such he has great deal to say about setting foreign policy,
