A related argument is that domestic political processes can hamstring a government in the great game of poker or chess that international politics is supposed to be. As Obama has just discovered, having a legislature that clearly does not want to go to war weakens the executive’s hand in international negotiations.
一个相关观点是，国内政治程序会掣肘政府在国际政治这盘大棋上的动作。正如奥巴马刚刚发现的，立法机关明确不愿走向战争会削弱执政者在国际谈判上的立场。
