Court Says Florida Cannot Make Foreign Policy
Understanding who has what power in the United States can sometimes be confusing. Determining which branch of the federal government has what power is the easy part (O.K., not really). But more complicated are questions like: When does Congress have the power to regulate activity and when does that power belong to the states? But there is one area that the courts have been pretty consistent on when it comes to the question of who has the power: foreign policy. A recent case out of Florida provides a very nice example.
