Treaty Powers Resolution was a bill proposed by Senator Dick Clark in 1976, which attempted the limit the power of the President of the United States to make executive agreements with foreign nations. Under this bill, the Senate would have the power to reject any international agreement done by executive action, even if the agreement was not classified as a treaty by the President. [1]

Although the proposal made it out of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in 1978, it was soon replaced by a weakened substitute proposed by Senator John Glenn.[1]
