Explain the Treaty Clause of the U.S. Constitution
What will be an ideal response?
A treaty is an agreement or a contract between two or more nations that is formally signed by an authorized representative and ratified by the supreme power of each nation. Article II, Section 2, Clause 2 of the U.S. Constitution—the Treaty Clause—states that the president "shall have power, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, to make treaties, provided two-thirds of the senators present concur." Under the Treaty Clause, only the federal government can enter into treaties with foreign nations. Under the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution, treaties become part of the "law of the land," and conflicting state or local law is void. The president is the agent of the United States in dealing with foreign countries.
