Executive agreements continue to be used to shape US foreign policy. In 1900, US President William McKinley used this policy when committing US armed forces. In 1900, he set the tone of US foreign policy by sending 5,000 troops to China. The excuse for this action was that American lives and property were in danger. US troops joined with other imperialists to end the Boxer Rebellion. The Chinese government actually declared war on the US. The US did not return the favor. The major factor there was that US Military action was that Congress was never even consulted.
