The president has the constitutional authority to enter into executive agreements with foreign nations. These agreements are legally binding and do not require Senate approval, as they are distinct from treaties, which demand a two-thirds Senate vote. Executive agreements must, however, align with existing federal law and the Constitution. The incorrect answers either misrepresent the binding nature of executive agreements, create unsupported limitations (e.g., restricting them to national security matters), or incorrectly suggest that Congressional approval is mandatory for them to be enforced.
