Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Executive agreements are a form of international agreement made by the president with the head of another state or foreign government. Unlike treaties, they do not require Senate approval for them to become effective. Therefore, many presidents have utilized executive agreements as an alternative in the absence of the Senate's approval of treaties. Signing statements and executive immunity are not relevant to this issue, while international protocols may still require Senate approval.
