The United States Constitution provides that 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" ( Article II, section 2 ). Treaties are binding agreements between nations and become part of international law.
How many treaties does the United States have a year?
The United States enters into more than 200 treaties and other international agreements each year. The subjects of treaties span the whole spectrum of international relations: peace, trade, defense, territorial boundaries, human rights, law enforcement, environmental matters, and many others. As times change, so do treaties.
What is a treaty in the United States?

Are states bound to honor federal tax treaties?
The States are not bound to honor Federal tax treaties, but most do. State income tax forms usually start with federal taxable income, or federal adjusted gross income, and require a few adjustments. Income excluded by US treaties are usually excluded from States income tax.
