How did the policy of executive agreement reach a new level under US President William McKinley?
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.

After graduating from high school, McKinley first worked as a postal clerk and later taking a job teaching at a school near Poland, Ohio. When the Civil War started, he enlisted (at the age of 18) and served in the Army during the war. After the war ended in 1865, McKinley decided on a career in the law and studied for the bar until he was admitted to the bar (became a practicing lawyer) in March 1867. He invested some of his income to buy some buildings and became a landlord in addition to being a lawyer. His first elected office was prosecuting attorney in Stark County, Ohio. He was defeated for re-election but later was elected to congress as the Representative for Ohio's 17th congressional district. He served in that office most of the time until he was elected governor of Ohio.
