The president and the Secretary of State negotiate an agreement with North Korea to end its designs on building a nuclear weapon. In exchange, the U.S. will commit $15 billion in humanitarian aid to the North Korean people suffering from mass starvation, and forgive up to $25 billion in loans by the North Korean government to U.S. banks. The president consulted Congress, but did not request a treaty.

a. Identify and explain which formal Constitutional powers apply to this scenario.
b. What informal powers and/or roles of the president apply? Explain.
c. Are the president’s actions constitutional?
d. Do you agree with the president’s decision? Why or why not?

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The formal Constitutional power that applies to this scenario is that the President of the United States is the Chief Diplomat and the leader of the nation. He has the power to make these kinds of decisions when he considers it necessary for the security of the country.

The informal powers or roles of the president that apply to this scenario is that the President of the United States is able to conduct foreign policy initiatives if he deems correct to get to a prompt solution of a conflict or avoid one.

Yes, the President's actions are constitutional because he is not confronting or breaking any precepts of the US Constitution. The President and the Secretary of State negotiated the agreement with North Korea to end its designs on building a nuclear weapon, and he consulted with the members of Congress to get their advice.

I agree in part,  with the president's decision, but I considered necessary the signing of a formal Treaty to follow a protocol and clearly establish the conditions that back the agreements. This way, both countries would have to fulfill the agreement, no matter what happens in the future and despite any presidential changes in the United States or North Korea.

In this case, the treaty should be discussed and approved by the United States Congress.

Based on the information given, the Constitutional power that applies is the security of the country.

It should be noted that the President has the power to make decisions involving security in the country.

The informal power of the President that was applied in this case is the negotiation of executive agreements.

From the information given, the President's actions are constitutional due to the fact that he is not breaking any precepts of the US Constitution.
