metadata.value: The article examines the functions of Congress as a representative and legislative body and its influence
  over the foreign policy of the United States of America. The U. S. Constitution initially vested
  considerable powers in Congress to enable it to control the executive branch. The author shows that
  changes that occurred over recent decades in the highest echelons of power in the United States are
  related to the strengthening of the influence of Congress over foreign policy and have contradictory
  results. Remaining formally the most influential political figure in the country, the U. S. President is
  forced to seek mutual understanding with Congress in order to get support on the key issues of the
  country’s foreign policy. The author underlines the idea that the role of the U. S. Congress and the degree
  of its influence over U. S. foreign policy are subject to fluctuations depending both on the general
  domestic political situation and the determination of the incumbent President to defend his line in
  foreign policy, on his ability to seek and find mutual understanding with the Congress. Refs 9.
