What is best matters more then what the founders didn't specify.

Meeting foreign leaders essentially means having discussions with them, which promotes understanding and being understood, which is beneficial.
What matters best is what the founders didn't specify??? So they didn't specify that the President couldn't introduce laws into Congress so he can go up the hill and draw up a resolution, introduce it, and expect a vote, right? Absurd thinking, at best, ignorant at worst.

Ok Great. Your conclusion then is that 535 members of Congress are all empowered to traipse around the globe discussing and making foreign policy for the US. This is just plain wacky and directly opposed to the expressed authority given to the executive branch of the government in the Constitution. Hey who needs the State Department anyway when we can have 535 members in COngress do the job, right?.:rolleyes:
