Congress and the president employ various methods to implement American foreign policy. The president can negotiate treaties, appoint ambassadors, and direct diplomatic relations, while Congress holds the power to ratify treaties, regulate commerce with foreign nations, and allocate funding for foreign initiatives. Additionally, Congress can influence foreign policy through legislation, oversight, and the power to declare war. Both branches often collaborate, with the president taking the lead in diplomacy and Congress providing checks and balances.
The President cannot make a decision by himself - he has to run his ideas through the Congress before anything happens with them. Congress will also make sure that the president is doing his job by often calling meetings that would include the president.
There are many ways Congress sought to limit the power of the executive branch. These are as follows: 1) Congress can override the veto of the president; 2) Congress can refuse to confirm presidential appointments; 3) Congress can impeach the president; 4) Congress can refuse to ratify presidential treaties.

According to the Constitution of the United States, the President cannot write legislation, or impose taxes upon the people. Congress is where these powers lay and once passed by both Houses of Congress the President can sign the legislation or veto it. In recent years, the President has been taking some of this power away from Congress and issuing legislation through Executive Orders. Executive Orders is an allowed power given to the President to take action required immediately necessary due to items such as Acts of War or Natural Disasters when Congress is not in session or could not be gathered quick enough to take action. This was done at a time when it took weeks to cross the country but has been taken as an act to bypass Congress when the action would no pass through Congress using the Constitutional methods.
If it is passed by a majority vote of both the House of Reps. and Congress, it sent to the President, if he vetoes it bad he returns the bill to the House of Reps. when originated. The veto can be overridden if it re-passes each house by 2/3 majority vote. If the President fails to sign a bill after Congress adjourns, the bill is automatically killed (dead). This is called a packet veto and Congress cannot try to override it. If the bill is passed by the President the bill will become a law!
The president is required to give Congress information about the state of the unions from time to time but he could probably skip it for awhile with no effects except a lot of questions and negative comments from his detractors. He could certainly send a written message to Congress instead of making a speech. Actually I think Presidents all very much welcome the chance to speak with national coverage- they would not skip for the world!
