The Constitution gives the President the power to commit the United States to treaties â but only with the advice and consent of two-thirds of the US Senate, and only if the agreement does not contravene the Constitution. The process to ratify a treaty may be lengthy, but it is relatively straight forward:
INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENTS WITHOUT SENATE APPROVAL. The capacity of the United States to enter into agreements with other nations is not exhausted in the treaty-making power. The Constitution recognizes a distinction between ''treaties'' and ''agreements'' or ''compacts'' but does not indicate what the difference is.
