Describe the three reasons presidents favor the use of executive agreements.
What will be an ideal response?

Secondly, answers should discuss how executive agreements build trust between American diplomats and foreign partners because the involved parties do not have to worry about a treaty being rejected by Congress. Answers should identify how executive agreements eliminate the possibility that, even in the event of congressional approval, there is no delay of action, which is particularly important in urgent matters such as humanitarian crises and counterterrorism missions.
