The work of John SetearFootnote 49 and Lisa Martin illustrates a presentation that attributes political benefits to the treaty. Footnote 50 Your argument focuses on significant legislative obstacles to the treaty consultation and approval process. Since presidents generally do not have enough support in the Senate to obtain a two-thirds majority, they often face considerable political struggle to convince senators to vote in favor of a proposed treaty. This political struggle not only requires time and resources, but ensuring sufficient support may also require significant concessions from the president in other areas. Footnote 51 Given that the conclusion of a contract entails such a high political price, Setear and Martin argue that only presidents who are particularly supportive of the agreement would be willing to go through the consultation and approval procedure. If there is no need for a high level of commitment, the president would instead opt for the exclusive or executive agreement of Congress, footnote 52, which the authors say is at a lower cost. Other countries are aware of this signal dynamic. Therefore, if they enter into agreements with the United States, they would respect the form of the proposed agreement and, in certain high-commitment scenarios, they may refuse to accept, unless the president is prepared to commit by treaty. 79 The case law provides that such agreements are to be transmitted only “to the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations and to the Committee on International Relations of the House of Representatives, under an appropriate confidentiality order which shall be repealed only after duly informing the President”. 1 U.S.C 112b (a) (1979). 104 It should be borne in mind, however, that the integration of the solid effects of the object does not entail major changes in the coefficients.
In order for more differentiated selection effects to fully explain the results, it should be considered that the selection effects within the category are stronger than the selection effects between the categories, for example that the average difference between two tax treaties explains more differences than the average difference between a tax treaty and an arms limitation agreement. 44,108 AJIL Unbound (2014), available from www.cambridge.org/core/journals/american-journal-of-international-law/ajil-unbound; see also Bradley, note 9 above, at 85 (in agreement with Hathaway, that the difference in the use of contracts and executive agreements does not reflect apparent logic). Contracts and executive agreements are instruments of national law. These procedures allow the United States to act as a party to an international agreement. The four steps of the contract search process are described below. The sources you consult vary depending on whether the treaty is bilateral or multilateral and whether or not the United States is a party to the treaty. Figure 3 shows the estimated cumulative survival and hazard curves for the preferred model (5), one of which corresponds to a contract and an executive agreement. . .
