Most of the treaties submitted to the Senate have received approval from the Council and the Senate for ratification. In the first 200 years, the Senate approved more than 1,500 treaties and rejected only 21. Some of them, including the Treaty of Versailles, were rejected twice. Most of the time, the Senate simply did not vote on treaties that its leaders did not have sufficient support in the Senate to approve, and in general, those treaties were eventually withdrawn. At least 85 treaties were eventually withdrawn because the Senate had never taken final action. Contracts can also remain with the Senate Foreign Relations Committee for an extended period of time, as treaties do not have to be reservient at the start of each new Congress. There have been cases where contracts within the committee have been dormant for years, if not decades, without any action being taken. Nor is the argument confirmed by a history of institutional practice. The manual work of the first congress on the structure of the original administrative departments is in contradiction with the idea that the Editors intended a unified executive. Congress has housed the president`s control at various levels, from seemingly complete, as in the State Department, to essentially non-existent, such as the boards and commissions empowered to oversee the Mint, redeem U.S. debts, and rule on patent applications. Proponents of the unitary executive can cite a variety of presidential statements over the years affirming the existence of a full, supervised presidency.
