| Japan is not the only country debating how to interpret constitutional provisions affecting the nation’s foreign policy. The United States has been debating similar issues for more than 200 years. Unlike in Japan, however, the debate is not about what the government is allowed to do, but who is in charge. Earlier in the year, the United States Supreme Court issued an important opinion in which they explained the balance of power between the President and Congress. So far, this significant opinion has not received the attention that it deserves. In this lecture, Professor Paul Sracic will explain this decision in the context of past Supreme Court opinions. He will also try to anticipate how this decision might affect U.S. foreign policy in the years ahead. |
