Literally the reason the President gets so much deference in foreign affairs is because he is the βsole voiceβ of the nation when it comes to representing the U.S. as a sovereign and negotiating on its behalf. (Also, so much for the βunitaryβ executive)

I cant help but feel that our Founding Fathers would be MORTIFIED by whats happening today. Establishing an official state religion. Kidnapping people and sending them to be slave labor in another country. Snatching people off the street for their IDEAS. Horrifying.
