GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

Detailed explanation-1: -By granting the Senate the sole power to offer advice and consent on nominations and treaties, the Constitution gives senators a major role in American foreign policy. Presidents nominate diplomats and negotiate treaties, but the Senate determines whether those nominees will serve or if those treaties will be ratified.

Detailed explanation-2: -The committee oversees executive agreements with foreign powers and provides advice and consent on diplomatic nominations and treaties. Chairmen of the committee consult with foreign dignitaries and counsel presidents, often playing a significant role in the conduct of U.S. diplomacy.

Detailed explanation-3: -Ratification: approval of agreement by the state After approval has been granted under a state’s own internal procedures, it will notify the other parties that they consent to be bound by the treaty. This is called ratification. The treaty is now officially binding on the state.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Constitution authorizes Congress to oversee but not establish U.S. foreign policy, except by law and approval of war and treaties. In that capacity, Congressional committees question Department officials about matters of foreign policy, internal operations and other subjects as it sees fit.
