Presidents can avoid ratification of a treaty by simply announcing that the United States will comply with its requirements. However, this strategy can be disadvantageous in that a. it is illegal according to earlier rulings by the Supreme Court. b. it requires a congressional resolution to make the treaty politically viable. c. a future president may simply ignore it. d. it limits the ability of the president to enforce the treaty. e. making a second treaty that supersedes the first

The correct answer is B) it requires a congressional resolution to make the treaty politically viable.

Presidents can avoid ratification of a treaty by simply announcing that the United States will comply with its requirements. However, this strategy can be disadvantageous in that it requires a congressional resolution to make the treaty politically viable.
