Explain why a President might make an executive agreement rather than negotiate a formal treaty. In your answer, include one advantage and one disadvantage of an executive agreement.

An advantage is that it takes way less time to do it than to create a formal treaty since the President would not need consent from the congress for an executive agreement. A formal treaty can, however, last longer because it is more difficult to cancel, so if it's good, then it is also safer for it to be formal.
