The United States Constitution divides foreign policy powers, there are six basic ways in which Congress can originate or shape foreign policy
I think that both Congress and the president should have power in conducting foreign affairs. Some powers are not listed in the Constitution but both the president and Congress should have some exclusive foreign policy powers.
The implied powers of the president in foreign policy making is the draft. Abraham Lincoln implemented the draft during the civil war.
The most important power in the constitution is the taxing and spending power given to Congress. Other important powers include the president's appointment and veto powers, Congress' foreign affairs and spending powers.
The Constitution's division of powers leaves the President with some exclusive powers as Commander-in-Chief, Congress with certain other exclusive powers, and a sort of "twilight zone" of concurrent powers. Congress also has the power to limit the powers of the President.The Constitution describes the powers of Congress more than those of the president because initially Congress was supposed to rule the country while the president didn't do much.
