A Hypothetical Case

A Hypothetical Case

The first thing I would do in this situation if I were the President of the U .S would be to try to get more information about the situation . I would turn to my consultants to get to know where there is any other country that has its own interests in the country discussed . I would request data from the intelligence department to find out whether the revolutionaries get financial , political or some other kind of support from some country , organization or person

Than I would call the OAS

meeting and consult them on a course of action they consider being appropriate in this situation . During it I 'll emphasize the importance of assuring safety of the 200 American citizens that reside on the territory of the country . I 'll listen to their suggestions , and after that I would call an emergency meeting to discuss the situation with the Senate Foreign Relations Committee . Depending on the choice I would make after consulting the members of the Committee , I would either try secret negotiations with the rebellions or the political force that stands behind them , or call the emergency meeting with the Senate , where I would place the question for whether the U .S should land its Marines in to help the previous government

As the President of the U .S I have the authority to call the emergency meeting of the OAS , the Senate and the Senate Foreign Relations Committee , in to discuss the situation with them and make a decision . Landing Marines without getting an advice from the Congress might create a conflict with it , and the relations with the OAS would be strained if I recognized the rebelling group as the new legitimate government without calling a meeting with them . It is also that the force measures taken by the U .S may call negative reaction from international community , and I would pay much attention to this issue as in the contemporary situation with terrorism the U .S cannot allow itself to loose the potential allies among the other countries
