Clinton Sec. of State Albright calls on Congress to overrule Trump on foreign policy powers
President Trump has a knack for getting long-forgotten political actors to act like they’re still relevant.
The President’s foreign policy has been one of the most common targets of his detractors. Madeleine Albright, Secretary of State under Bill Clinton, co-wrote a scathing CNN op-ed calling on Congress to circumvent President Trump by asserting greater foreign policy powers.
Albright’s article, titled “It’s time for Congress to override Trump’s foreign policy powers,” was co-written by Rep. David E. Price (D-NC), who is the ranking member of the House Democracy Partnership.
The former Clinton official evoked history, describing moments in which Congress put a check on the Executive Branch’s foreign policy.
“Senate hearings on the Vietnam War played a decisive role in turning public opinion against the conflict and accelerating the US troop withdrawal. During Ronald Reagan’s administration, Congress uncovered and reversed the President’s policy of covert support for anti-leftist militias in Central America, and delivered a bipartisan rebuke of his policy toward apartheid South Africa.”
The article then argued that President Trump’s handling of foreign policy merits such Congressional intervention.
