The Senate often clashes with the president during the confirmation process for key appointments, such as Supreme Court justices and cabinet members, where partisan politics can lead to contentious hearings and votes. Another occasion is during treaty negotiations, as the Senate must ratify international agreements, which can lead to disagreements over foreign policy. Additionally, budgetary and spending decisions can create tension, especially when the president's proposed budget faces opposition from a Senate majority of the opposing party.
