Answer: As chief diplomat, the President of the United States has the authority to negotiate with foreign leaders without getting congressional approval in certain areas, such as making executive agreements and negotiating treaties and diplomatic relations. Executive agreements can be either congressional-executive agreements, which require the approval of Congress, or sole executive agreements, which do not require Congressional approval. Treaties and diplomatic relations require the advice and consent of the Senate for ratification.
