   US Constitution, Article 2 , Section 2, Second paragraph   
      
   He (the President) shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent   
   of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators   
   present concur,...   
      
   treaty (plural treaties)   
      
        (international law) A binding agreement concluded by subjects of   
   international law, namely states and international organizations.   
        A formal agreement between two or more states.   
      
   Seems to be a treaty, and, as such, needs Senatorial input and consent.
