The scholar Edward Corwin famously described the separation of powers between the executive and the legislative branches set out in the US Constitution as “an invitation to struggle for the privilege of directing American foreign policy.” With different parties controlling different branches of government, partisan politics tends to intensify this struggle, and the consequences can be ugly. A look back at the earlier strife offers useful context for evaluating today’s bitter divisions and their likely outcome. The main takeaway is not comforting to contemporary Republicans: trying to fight a no-holds-barred war over foreign policy against a determined White House can limit the effectiveness of US efforts abroad and discredit those who launch what can come to be seen as obstructionist assaults.
