The Senate ratifies treaties entered into by the executive branch of government.
He/She can make treaties, but they need to be approved by Congress.
Yes, they're called treaties. In fact, I think that Congress has to approve any treaty before the President may sign it.
Otherwise he would have too much power.
it is the supreme authority of senate to ratify treaties with foreign nations by a majority of vote.
President Woodrow Wilson tried to get Congress to approve the US entry into the League of Nations. The League of Nations was the predecessor to the United Nations.
Congress must approve of treaties and pacts as well as U.N. United Nations related agreements between nations. Then the President must sign the document to approve into law. If a voluntary agreement is made, then congress is not needed unless conflict arises, otherwise 2 nations can arbitrarily agree and work together and or end agreements as predetermined.
The U.S. Constitution grants the federal government the authority to negotiate treaties with foreign nations under Article II, Section 2. This section designates the President as the chief negotiator for treaties, but it requires the advice and consent of the Senate, which must approve treaties by a two-thirds majority vote. This framework ensures a balance of power between the executive and legislative branches in foreign relations.
