how are treaties made and approved? what is the purpose of an executive agreement?

Answer 1

A treaty is a binding agreement under international law entered into by actors in international law, namely states and international organizations. Treaties are called by several names: treaties, international agreements, protocols, covenants, conventions, exchanges of letters, exchanges of notes, etc. Regardless of the name chosen, all of these international agreements under international law are equally treaties and the rules are the same. However, under United States constitutional law, only a treaty that has achieved advice and consent of two-thirds of the Senate present is properly designated as a "treaty." If, instead, the President presents a negotiated instrument to the whole Congress for majority approval, the agreement is typically called a congressional-executive agreement." For example, the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and most other U.S. trade agreements are executive agreements.

Treaties can be loosely compared to contracts: both are means of willing parties assuming obligations among themselves, and a party to either that fails to live up to their obligations can be held liable under international law for that breach. The central principle of treaty law is expressed in the maxim pacta sunt servanda--"pacts must be respected." However, in the United States, treaties are equal in stature to legislation. Because of this rule, treaties and statutes can override each other--whichever is latest in time is controlling.

Answer 2

treaties are made in collaboration between congress and the president and approved by congress. an executive agreement is like a treaty in the sense that it is an agreement between nations or nation's leaders, but these are only held in place during the presidents term, once the president is no longer in power the executive agreement dies. and executive agreement only has to be approved by the president.
