OK, you're officially older than me. As for why the Founders gave so much power in foreign policy to Presidents, as I said, I have no clue. Maybe they never foresaw that the world would get so globalized, so "small". Maybe they never foresaw that Presidents would decide that foreign policy was a jolly thing, a bully pulpit, or whatever it is they see. As I type on a computer made in Asia, powered by oil from the Middle East, wearing clothing made everywhere from Bangladesh to Ethiopia to Costa Rica, after supping on rice from India and sauce from Thailand, washed down with English beer, globalization seems like a Good Thing to me.
