This text deals with The Treaty-Making Power of executive.

The executive has also maneuvered into a commanding strategic position in the area of treaty approval or disapproval. Under the 1798 Logan Act, only the president or his agent is authorized to conduct foreign relations for the United States. That's why when Senator George Logan of Pennsylvania traveled to France to discuss the possibility of reestablishing diplomatic relations Congress showed its displeasure by barring all private citizens from negotiating for the United States with foreign nations.

The same situation is with giving diplomatic recognition - only president can do it.  It also was the reason why U.S. congressmens cannot officially represent the United States abroad. Statistic about treaties said that about 1,600 treaties have been submitted to the Senate for ratification. However, the numbers are a bit misleading since presidents withdrew 150 of the treaties when defeat seemed likely. Only 1 percent of all treaties submitted to the Senate have actually been defeated.
