With tensions high in the Middle East, the President negotiates with Turkey to allow unrestricted air access, as well as the ability to establish a base near the Turkish border to be able to respond quickly to escalating conditions. The president signed this agreement without prior consultation with or the receipt of authorization from the U.S. Congress. The president claimed that such consultation and approval were not necessary.
What type of agreement has the president negotiated with Turkey? What do such agreements provide? Utilizing concepts in Chapter 8 and the opinion in Dole v. Carter, would a judicial challenge to the agreement by a member of Congress be successful? Why or why not?
