<< You are being a bit contradictory here>> Not really. If at any time during those 40 years, the Congress didn't like the overall foreign policy, they could have passed legislation directing the President where they wanted him to go - for example, the Boland ammendment or the War Powers act. They also have the ability (cleverly bypassed by a certain Republican Pres. <g>) to cut off spending on any policy they disagree with. Of course, they also have the ability to not approve treaties, although Clinton is even trying to bypass that using Executive Orders. I agree that foreign policy is mostly the domain of the President - but Congress still has a say. Also remember the Presidency changed parties numerous times since WWII - JFK/LBJ - Nixon/Ford - Carter - Reagan/Bush - Clinton. The only continuity was that the Congress stayed Democrat for almost the entire time. <<Reagan crammed this down the congress' throat>> Impossible. Congress' weakness can't be blamed on a President's strength.
