You don't seem to understand how the House works.

So the unconstitutional activities of government representaitives doesn't
bother you? The Constitution clearly states that the President is the only
office that can make international treaties.

Not only treaties, Article 2 sections 2 & 3 give the executive the
power to appoint and to receive ambassadors and foreign ministers,
which are the only official contacts we have with foreign governments.
Though Presidents often give Congress Members ministerial assignments
when they go abroad, it is a clear violation of the Constitution for
members of Congress to speak for the United States with foreign
leaders outside those assignments.

For the leader of an opposing party to go abroad and negotiate with a
foreign leader to undermine the effectiveness of our official policy
by suggesting that they will get a better deal if they help the
opposition look good before an election is sedition at the least, and
perhaps, treason.
