As early as 1817, the executive agreement became an instrument of major foreign policy acts. US President James Monroe arranged with Great Britain how naval forces of both nations would deal with operations on the Great Lakes. Monroe's agreement with Great Britain was based on an Act in 1815, authorizing the president to handle affairs between the two countries regarding the Great lakes. Monroe then took this executive privilege to make this agreement without specific authorization from Congress.

The Iran Nuclear Agreement was an executive agreement because Obama chose to name it an executive agreement. There is nothing in the Agreement that makes it an executive agreement as opposed to a treaty, but Obama was well aware that a treaty requires two-thirds approval by the Senate and he could not count on two-thirds of Senators approving the agreement. As a result, he chose to make it an executive agreement, which only needs an up or down vote from half of the senators.
