CHAPTER 20 Foreign Policy and Military Policy REVIEWING THE CHAPTER CHAPTER FOCUS This chapter presents a survey of selected topics in United States foreign policy (or rather policies), focusing on the political processes involved in arriving at those policies. After reading and reviewing the material in this chapter, you should be able to do each of the following: 1. List the constitutional powers of the president and compare them with the authority of Congress in foreign affairs. Indicate why it is naive to read the Constitution literally in order to determine which institution has the major responsibility to conduct foreign policy. Explain why the president has a larger role than the Framers intended.

4.02 The work of art pictured is Theodora?s Mosaic in the Basilica of San Vitale in Ravenna, Italy. Theodora was Justinian?s wife whom he married for love. Her humble origin set a precedent for empresses in a lower class chosen for their beauty. Theodora is shown wearing purple and abundance of jewels; even more than the mosaic opposite this one depicting Justinian. The connection between church and state are key elements to the mosaic. Theodora?s robe at the bottom shows the three magi from the nativity story. She is shown holding a cup used for Holy Communion. The bright and various colors of the robes of the courtiers are characteristic of Byzantine Art. The halo around Theodora?s head makes her seem as not just the Emperor?s wife but a Christian ruler in her own right.
