Ep. 262 | Constitutional Chats Podcast | Heather Yates | Treaties, Power & the Presidency: Article II, Section II, Clause II
Episode 262
Friday, 11 July, 2025
The United States Constitution is efficient in its division of power between the three branches of government. Articles I, II and III create the Legislative, Executive and Judicial branches, respectively. Within Article II, Section II gives the President certain powers to function as our chief diplomat with other countries. Just what are these powers? What is the check on this power from the other branches? What is a treaty, and what is the difference between treaties and executive orders? To guide our discussion on Article II, Section II, Clause II we are delighted to welcome Dr. Heather Yates as our guest this week. Dr. Yates is a professor of American politics.
