What does being chief diplomat require?
Chief Diplomat must oversee all United States foreign policy. The president must hold conferences with foreign leaders to keep peace. He also negotiates treaties, he must consult senate when writing up these treaties. I believe president Obama is fufilling his role as Chief Diplomat because he tells American diplomats what they will say to foreign governments. With the help of congress the president makes the foreign policy for the United States. By traveling to afghanistan and meeting with their leaders this is an example of how obama fufills the role of Chief Diplomat.
