Why Presidents use executive agreements with heads of foreign states instead of the formal treaty process?

An executive agreement or understanding with a foreign leader might serve the immediate purpose of a treaty and lead to a formal treaty between the respective nations. A treaty requires the approval of the Senate and may be much harder to negotiate than an agreement between two men. (It also may be easier to break or worm out of if the situation changes or new information comes to light.)

∙ 6y agoPresidents don’t make agreements with foreign governments without the approval of congress. It would be against the constitution to do an agreement without congressional approval. This is only an agreement pertaining to administrative matters and is used before a treaty or act of congress. In other words it sets the rules.

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.

If somebody wants to major in science in college then is it a good idea to do physics instead of a fourth year of a foreign language?
I feel as if the person should do Physics instead of 4th year in foreign language. [EDIT] I'd say take the foreign language course instead because colleges like to see that you have 4 years of one foreign language. If you want to major in physics, then wait until college to start on your physics major. Until then, focus on getting into college first.
