The Constitution did not give predominance in foreign affairs to the Executive Branch, although early Presidents worked to establish the precedent. Thomas Jefferson insisted, “…the President is the only channel of communication between this country and foreign nations, and it is from him alone that foreign nations or their agents are to learn what is or has been the will of the nation.”
First Secretary of State under the Constitution, Thomas Jefferson
But the President could not manage foreign policy alone. On May 19, 1789, James Madison proposed the creation of a Department of Foreign Affairs under the leadership of a Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. But, since there wasn’t thought to be enough work for a Department of “Home Affairs,” Congress also assigned domestic duties to the new Department of State. John Jay, originally appointed as Secretary of Foreign Affairs under the Articles of Confederation, continued at this post until 1790. As President, George Washington immediately appointed Thomas Jefferson, then Minister to France, to be the first Secretary of State. Jefferson began work on March 22, 1790.
Despite significant constraints on the Department of State in terms of budget and manpower, the United States achieved a remarkable number of triumphs in foreign affairs during the early years of the republic. During the 1790s, the Jay Treaty (1794) and the Pinckney Treaty (1795) regularized relations with England and Spain.

So we see that the original Charter of the Department of State was to better handle "foreign affairs", ie, the treaty.
However under Hillary, democrats with ties to foreign countries were hired (perhaps illegals too).
Under Hillary, one DOS filing after another was AWARDS OF MONEY TO FOREIGN STATES, with NO REAL MECHANISM of recovery, investment, interest for the US: no treaty either. It was a freaking pork barrel agency of paying off who knows who for who knows why.
