President Barack Obama says his successor in the White House will not call into question the executive branchs power to cut deals between the United States and other countries, such as the nuclear framework reached last week with Iran.
I am confident that any president who gets elected will be knowledgeable enough about foreign policy and knowledgeable enough about the traditions and precedents of presidential power that they wont start calling to question the capacity of the executive branch of the United States to enter into agreements with other countries, Obama said in an interview with NPRs Morning Edition set to air Tuesday.
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, who has expressed interest in running for the Republican nomination, has said that he would cancel the deal on Jan. 20, 2017, his first day in office.
Questioning the presidents power to negotiate agreements would harm Americas relationship with allies and embolden enemies, Obama said, adding that the Republican governor should take some time to catch up on foreign policy.
And it would be a foolish approach to take, and, you know, perhaps Mr. Walker, after hes taken some time to bone up on foreign policy, will feel the same way, Obama told NPRs Steve Inskeep.
