The senate has to ratify any treaties in order for them to become law.

That said, nothing prevents anyone from making bad decisions other than the other groups of people that must also be included in the decision. In theory, forcing Congress to ratify treaties prevents the President from doing something enormously stupid on his own accord, but it's certainly possible for a bad treaty to get past both branches of government.

Are both the president and congress granted power to deal with foreign policy by the constitution?

Under Article II of the Constitution, the President is granted the power to deal with foreign affairs: this can be entering and discussing treaties, policy decisions, meetings with foreign heads of state, and executive agreements. However, treaties that the President enters into must be approved by Congress (2/3)--these are called congressional executive agreements, and they can be ex-ante or ex-post. Further, Congress can delegate certain elements of its own powers, such as law-making, if it is deemed to be closely connected with the President's goals of foreign policy.
