The President should be free to negotiate with other countries WITHOUT opposing political parties getting involved.
President Nixon changed the world when he had secret negotiations with China that led to very public negotiations and agreements and his widely televised trip to China.
Did Democrats hate him? Hell yes. But they had the good sense to not send an "open letter" to the Chinese for God's sake.
Nixon's visits to both China and The Soviet Union both changed the world for the better and began the end of the "cold war".
Congress has no business sticking it's nose into Executive Branch duties. And being pissed at the President for sort of bypassing them on Legislative Branch business is no excuse for this stupidity.
2 wrongs don't make a "right". And screwing up these kind of negotiations could mean the loss of many lives if things go bad.
