The government has too much power to do this, if they threaten another country with sanctions if they don't pass a law. This kind of power should be taken away

The government has too much power to do this, if they threaten another country with sanctions if they don't pass a law. This kind of power should be taken away from the executive and given to Congress. At least then we would see our elected representatives debate it, instead of some commission appointed by the President discussing it behind closed doors.
