Separation of power and the system of checks and balances create a situation of shared authority over decision making by different branches of government within the political system of the United States. By taking into account the political tools available to the U.S. President, I argue that U.S. Congress has a hard time to secure its stance in making political decisions in areas impacted by domestic as well as international concerns.

U.S. Presidents of the last six decades had the power to influence the political struggle in such a way that their most preferred policy outcome, usually a liberal trade agenda, was achieved.
