Where does Article 2 Section 2 use the words "foreign policy?"

If it doesn't mean foreign policy, then what exactly does it mean. Are you saying that Congress hass the authority to negotiate FP?

What "negotiations" did Pelosi conduct specifically? A transcript would be nice and some relevant quotes

.

All transcripts here? Don't have one and it is not meaningful here. I already showed you the dangers in encouraging members of Congress to pretend to conduct FP. Either you agree or you don't . Obviously you don't agree and think it is just fine to confuse foreign nations about whom to deal with in matters of FP. It encourages foreign nations to back door the Department of State. Fine. Reap what you sow because it will result in FP chaos.

It already came "true" during the Gingrich trip of 1998. Until you acknowledge that point, you are still repeating the Bush talking points and undermining your claims to non-partisanship, not to mention any professed "respect" for the Office of the President

I already told you that it didn't matter which party does this. The results are all the same. The more this is done, the more it will undermine the Authority of the Constitution and the powers granted by it to the Executive Office. The more it is done, the more encouraging it will be for foreign nations to think they can ignore the protocol of the State Department. This, my friend, is dangerous to both the Constitution and the Nation.

From your post 42:

. Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich (R, Georgia): US HOUSE SPEAKER Newt Gingrich weathered a rocky visit to Israel in late May as head of a 20-member congressional delegation here to honour Israel's Jubilee

Let's see. Newt goes to Israel to attend a Jubilee but no where do I see in your post that he met with the Prime Minister. Who was the PM he met with because I really don't recall this. I am not saying it didn't happen but please enlighten me. Furthermore, it seems he attended a Jubilee as the focus of the trip, not a meeting with the PM. We need a link to the meeting between Netanayu and Gingrich. Where is it?

Here is the Chronology of events of the Jubilee for the entire year.

CHRONOLOGY OF EVENTS- 1998-1999

CHRONOLOGY OF EVENTS- 1998-1999 28 Nov 2000 VOLUME 17: 1998-1999 CHRONOLOGY OF EVENTS, 1998-1999

No where in this chronology can I find a meeting between the PM and Gingrich. I can locate many meetings with Clinton, Gore, Albright and Special Envoy Ross, amoung others, but no meeting with Newt.

This is the only mention of that delegation:

23 May A U.S. congressional delegation in Israel to celebrate Israels Jubilee and Jerusalem Day, headed by Speaker Gingrich, cancels plans to lay cornerstone for the proposed U.S. embassy building in Jerusalem
