Question 33 • AP US Government and Politics

During an international summit, the US president signs a diplomatic agreement with a foreign dictator. The two leaders write the agreement during the summit, and both sign it before they leave.

Answer
A
The president may decide not to uphold the agreement.
B
The agreement may be unenforceable if the Senate refuses to ratify it.
C
The dictator may withdraw from the agreement.
D
The president’s agreement may not survive review by the Supreme Court.

Explanation

A formal treaty negotiated and signed by the president must receive the approval of two-thirds of the Senate before the United States is bound by it. If the Senate refuses to ratify it, the agreement may be unenforceable as a treaty. So the correct choice is “The agreement may be unenforceable if the Senate refuses to ratify it.”
