&gt; The democratic process is working, you are just misinformed. The only person you should be blaming is the President.<p>That&#x27;s a little too quick.<p>1. You&#x27;re overlooking the Senate&#x27;s constitutional &quot;advise and consent&quot; role in the formal treaty-making process. (Art II, s. 2, para. 2)  This is typically understood to require the Senate to adopt a resolution of ratification with a two-thirds majority. Even for a executive agreement which require acts beyond the president&#x27;s legal competence, the Senate is required to enact implementing legislation.<p>2. Just because the process is Constitutional doesn&#x27;t mean it is democratic. It is at least possible (and certainly not impossible by definition!) that the U.S. has some lawmaking processes that are not democratic.
