The role of President has gone through considerable changes if one talks about the United States President. Now, it is important that the whole thing is being looked at through two contexts, the first one is the sort of legislative powers that they have and what sort of changes that it has gone through during the last few years. The with the passage of time, the President and the executive had a minimalistic role during the course of the development of the foreign policy. In the administration of the George Washington, president used to enjoy considerable power as they were the ones that used to carry out the legislation and other commandments with respect to the foreign policy. With the passage of time though, there was a change in the role of the President, and it started to become much lower despite the constitutional edge that they used to enjoy and thus there was considerable decline. They used to play passive role in the role of the development of the foreign policy specially the likes of Clinton and his predecessors used to carry out the broader agenda that was set forth by the Congress at that point of time. That changed though with the turn of the century though and standards that are used to be followed by the policy maker changed and the inclination was there on their part to make sure that they take definitive stance. It started with George Bush and Trump has carried out on the same legacy with regards to making sure that they get to push their definitive agenda in terms of the creation of the foreign policy. The handling of the Afghanistan and Iraq crisis, the prison cases as well as establishing relations with North Korea are some of the things that can be said that as an example of the ever-increasing influence of the President in foreign policy.
