Why tie the "Commander In Chief" hands dealing with foreign powers?

I don't like tying President Donald Trump hands in dealing with foreign power because that is simply suicidal.

So who is going to undue what they put in place making that kind of vote seems very moronic, and foolish politics to me? The US Congress is playing feel good politics and our country's President would be powerless to do what is best for the American people.

That's just delusional.

Congress passes laws. Trump can veto it if he wants. That's how it works

So you would be ok with every decision any president makes having to be approved by congress?

You should brush up on Article II and inherent powers.

The US President has basically become royalty at this point. They have way too much power.

According to a Gallup poll last fall Americans trust in congress was 19%..

Nobody trusts congress it's utterly hilarious when they start touting Trumps approval rating when theirs is damn near single digits
