Question

6. With tensions high in the Middle East, the President negotiates with Turkey to allow unrestricted air access, as well as the ability to establish a base near the Turkish border to be able to respond quickly to escalating conditions. The president signed this agreement without prior consultation with or the receipt of authorization from the U.S. Congress. The president claimed that such consultation and approval were not necessary. What type of agreement has the president negotiated with Turkey? What do such agreements provide? Utilizing concepts in Chapter 8 and the opinion in Dole v. Carter, would a judicial challenge to the agreement by a member of Congress be successful? Why or why not?

Answer 1

President Donald Trump has signed cooperation treaty for Syria issue as it is against terrorism and seeks diplomatic foreign relations with Middle eastern countries.

Since there is no legislative Act been signed, congress cannot avert or reject or oppose situation through parliamentary affairs. Such judicial challenge will be in vain as the Government has sole rights of maintaining diplomatic foreign bilateral relations as per own need and in larger interests for nation.
