The difference between a treaty and an executive agreement is the paper they are printed on. The treaty is a signed document printed on paper. An executive agreement is an agreement that is verbal and probably agreed to by a handshake.
Why is Obama's Iran deal not subject to the two-thirds Senate vote for ratification?
While it is the case that all "treaties" require the ratification of the Senate, e.g. the two-thirds approval vote, this became incredibly difficult and cumbersome. As a result, President Franklin D. Roosevelt decided that he would term his international negotiations something other than treaties, like executive agreements. Because "executive agreements" are never mentioned in the US Constitution, there is no provision requiring any congressional approval. Note that from a functional and international law perspective there is absolutely no difference between a "treaty" and an "executive agreement".However, Congress retaliated in the 1960s, by passing a law requiring presidents to notify the legislative branch of all "executive actions" signed. Of course, this simply meant that Congress would be aware of the "executive agreement" and not in a position to oppose it. In some cases, the President will grant Congress the right to vote up or down on the "executive agreement" he reached during the notification process. This up or down vote is a plain majority vote in the Congress, but can be vetoed by the President. This effectively makes the approval requirement for an "executive agreement" the almost-exact reverse of the approval requirement for a "treaty". Instead of two-thirds of the Senate being required to approve a "treaty", now, two-thirds of the Senate and two-thirds of the House of Representatives are required to override the Presidential veto preventing their disapproval of the "executive action" from coming to pass.Almost every President since FDR has taken advantage of this incredibly useful tool and what Obama is doing on the Iran deal is no different.

Can the Supreme court declare a treaty unconstitutional?
A treaty is an international agreement. Obviously the us supreme court has no juristiction over treaty between two other countries.The president has the explict power to sign treaties, providing they have a 2/3 majority in the senate. However most treaties the US enters into are less formal "agreements"The treaty becomes part of US federal law, and can (like any other federal law) be subject to judicial review. On rare occasions "agreements" have been rejected by the supreme court (Reid v Covert) and in this case the US would break international law and break the treaty. (Sovereign states cannot be forced to comply with treaties that they have signed except by military action, but other countries can put pressure to encourage compliance) No full Treaty (with 2/3 support) has been rejected by the court, but there is no constitution bar to this.
