Frequently prompt recognition Of foreign
Government has taken place without any
thought OF the possible approval or dsapproval
Of Congress. notably when President Harrison
acted on the practical termination Of the Chilian
revolution. The was also the case upon
the establishment of the present Republic Of
France and the Republic OF Brazil. Another
recent case OF the exercise OF the Presidents
authority In receiving and dealing with foreign
Ministers occurred In the dismissal OF Sir
Lionel Sackville- West, the British Minister
While this caused no disruption of our rela-
tions with England. It Is held that it showed
the Presidents power to act altogether without
consulting Congress. and II was an instance OF
an Executive action which might have led to
war In this connection 1t Is also pointed out
that. while Congress can alone declare war, II
il clearly within the power Of the President
by his own action to bring about war. which,
If declared by an opponent. would create con-
dtion he would be compelled to meet until
Congress could assemble and act especially II
