The president's authority to negotiate treaties and appoint diplomats and ambassadors is primarily derived from Article II of the U.S. Constitution, which grants the president the power to conduct foreign affairs. Specifically, the president can negotiate treaties with the advice and consent of the Senate, requiring a two-thirds majority for ratification. Additionally, the president has the exclusive authority to appoint ambassadors and diplomats, with the Senate's approval, allowing the executive branch to effectively manage international relations. This framework underscores the president's significant role in shaping U.S. foreign policy.

Scotland is part of the United Kingdom, so is represented by British Ambassadors (or British High Commissioners in Commonwealth member countries).

Most of what Barrack Obama says to his ambassadors is classified, and not in the public domain. But even if some of it were, this would be a difficult question to answer, since we have many ambassadors, and what they say depends on the situation. Some of our ambassadors are posted in countries that are friendly to the United States, and in those countries, the job of a diplomat is to continue maintaining a positive relationship with that country's leaders; many new ambassadors with not a lot of previous experience are posted to countries where we get along well already and thus, no problems are expected. In the countries where there has been previous hostility or perhaps some previous misunderstandings over the years, the job of an ambassador is different, and somewhat more challenging. But even in that situation, the person chosen to be ambassador represents our official policy to that government. The president usually sends skilled and experienced people to be ambassadors in these kinds of countries. As for what the ambassador should say, it reflects whatever the official US policy is towards that particular nation. Ambassadors are often in contact with the State Department and information is exchanged during regular briefings.
