Links to other sites...The Presidents power to make Treaties... Being the Chief Diplomat, the constitution gives the president the power to make treaties. A treaty is a formal agreement between two countries. However, to do this, the senate must approve the treaty by 2/3 vote. If this happens, it can be signed into a law. The president can also make an executive agreement. . .
Executive Agreements...
An executive agreement has the force of law, but does not require senate approval.
