Explanation:

Question 9

To answer this, we refer to U.S. constitutional law and the president's powers. The president needs Senate consent for treaties (to make international agreements) and for appointing certain officials (like federal judges, cabinet members, ambassadors).

The Constitution's writers aimed for checks and balances. Requiring Senate approval limits the president's power, prevents abuse, and ensures shared decision - making. It balances the executive (president) with the legislative (Senate) branch, promoting accountability and careful consideration in important actions like treaty - making and appointments.

Answer:

Two things the president needs Senate consent for are: 1. Making treaties (entering into international agreements). 2. Appointing key officials (such as federal judges, cabinet members, or ambassadors).
