1 pts
the difference between a treaty and an executive agreement is that
a treaty is with a foreign state but an executive agreement is domestic.
a treaty ends or prevents a war but an executive agreement does not.
a treaty must begin in the senate but an executive agreement is made wholly by the president.
the president needs senate approval for a treaty but not for an executive agreement.

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: Both treaties and executive agreements can be with foreign states, so this is incorrect.
• Option 2: Treaties and executive agreements are not distinguished by their relation to war (both can be for various purposes, including non - war - related matters), so this is incorrect.
• Option 3: Treaties are negotiated by the President and then need Senate approval (they don't "begin in the Senate"), and executive agreements are not "wholly by the President" in all cases (some may involve other aspects, but the key difference is about Senate approval), so this is incorrect.
• Option 4: A treaty requires a 2/3 vote of the Senate for approval, while an executive agreement does not need Senate approval. This accurately describes the difference between a treaty and an executive agreement.

Answer:

D. the President needs Senate approval for a treaty but not for an executive agreement.
