No, the US Constitution requires that treaties be approved by 2/3 vote of the Senate.
The House of Representatives has no power with regard to foreign treaties. Treaties with foreign government are negotiated by the President subject to the advice and consent of the Senate only.
The U.S. becomes subject to international treaties through a process outlined in the Constitution. Treaties are negotiated by the President, typically with the assistance of the Secretary of State and other advisors. Once a treaty is negotiated, it must be ratified by a two-thirds majority in the Senate. After ratification, the treaty becomes part of U.S. law and is binding on the country.
The Senate must provide its advice and consent to all treaties negotiated by the President. This requires a two-thirds majority vote in the Senate for a treaty to be ratified. Additionally, treaties must be presented to the Senate in their final form before the vote can take place. This process ensures that treaties are subject to legislative oversight and approval.
No, it cannot. The power to make treaties with foreign countries is expressly reserved to the president under Article II of the US Constitution. The only role Congress plays is that treaties are subject to the advice and consent of the Senate. Note that "Congress", (i.e. the Senate and House of Representatives together) does not have a role in approving treaties. Only the Senate has such a role.
Cabinet members are appointed by the President. They are subject to the confirmation of the Senate; and as their terms are not fixed, they may be replaced at any time by the President.

If the two die at the same time, the Speaker of the House of Representatives takes over the duties of the Presidency. If the President dies and the Vice President assumes the Presidency, he or she will choose someone to fill the position of Vice President, subject to majority approval by both Houses of the U.S. Congress. If the Vice President (who is now the President) would die before a new Vice President is approved, again, the Speaker of the House of Representatives would assume the duties.Two ways to remember this are:1. Since the Vice President is the President of the U.S. Senate (the President pro tempore of the Senate is a different position), next in the line of succession is the leader of the other Congressional House, the Speaker of the House of Representatives.2. Even though the President is ultimately selected by vote of the Electoral College, the electors are chosen through popular vote. The U.S. House of Representatives is structured to represent parts of the nation by population (the Senate structure grants each state two representatives, or Senators, regardless of population). So, the leader of the House that best represents the population and the population's wishes is the Speaker of the House of Representatives.
Article II, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution provides that the President may make treaties subject to ratification by 2/3rds of the Senate and that the President shall appoint ambassadors, judges, cabinet members and other officers of the U.S. "with the advice and consent" of the Senate.
Well, the word used in the US Constitution is "consent". Article II, Section 2 states that the President "shall have power, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, to make treaties." Actually it only takes 2/3rds of the senators to consent.
Through the Department of State and the Department of Defense, the President is responsible for the protection of Americans abroad and of foreign nationals in the United States. The President decides whether to recognize new nations and new governments, and negotiate treaties with other nations, which become binding on the United States when approved by two-thirds of the Senate. The president may also negotiate "executive agreements" with foreign powers that are not subject to Senate confirmation. I believe the president can negotiate treaties, but they do not take effect until the Senate votes to ratify them.
