Abstract

The basic dilemma facing any American president in the foreign policy arena is the need for an active policy which can be made acceptable at home to a broad consensus of the American public, the media, major interest groups, and the legislative branch of government. This basic need to maintain domestic support for foreign policy is of course not unique to the United States but faces any government in a democratic system. The dilemma for American presidents grows out of the extent of American foreign commitments on the one hand and the particular nature of American political culture and its inherited political institutions on the other.
