The Senate's responsibility to advise the president ended during the presidency of George Washington. It was established by the Constitution in Article II, Section 2, which granted the president the power to seek the "advice and consent" of the Senate on certain appointments and treaties. However, during Washington's presidency, the Senate primarily acted as an advisory body, offering their opinions on nominations and treaties but not necessarily having the power to approve or reject them. After Washington, the Senate's role evolved to include the power of advice and consent, as is still practiced today.
