Which branch of government has the power to approve or reject treaties in the United States?

Executive branch.
Legislative branch.
Judicial branch.
State governments.

The correct answer is: Legislative branch.

The correct answer is the Legislative branch. This branch, which includes the House of Representatives and the Senate, has the power to approve or reject treaties that are proposed by the Executive branch, which includes the President. The Judicial branch, which includes the Supreme Court, does not have a role in treaty approval. While state governments may have some involvement in the initial negotiation of treaties, they do not have the power to approve or reject them.
