What is the difference between a treaty and an executive agreement?
What will be an ideal response?
A treaty is a negotiated agreement with a foreign power that must be approved by the Senate through a two-thirds vote. Because this vote is sometimes difficult to obtain, the president will sometimes sign executive agreements with foreign powers instead. Executive agreements are international accords that are not submitted to the Senate for its advice and consent. While this process is faster and more efficient than the treaty process, some have been challenged in court as being unconstitutional; but the Court has thus far declined to rule on this issue.
