Treaty

Read a random definition: plenum dominium

A quick definition of Treaty:

A treaty is a formal agreement between two or more countries. It's like a contract that they all agree to follow. In the United States, treaties are very important because they become federal law, which means they are more powerful than state laws. The President can make a treaty with the help of the Senate, but sometimes they make informal agreements instead.

A more thorough explanation:

A treaty is a formal agreement between two or more countries. It is like a contract that is followed by the nations involved. Treaties are governed by international law and are considered federal law in the United States. This means that they are more important than state laws.

The President of the United States can make a treaty with the advice and consent of the Senate. This means that two-thirds of the Senate must agree to the treaty. However, the President can also make informal treaties with other countries by using executive agreements.

One example of a treaty is the Paris Agreement. This is an agreement between many countries to work together to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and combat climate change. Another example is the North Atlantic Treaty, which is a treaty between the United States and other countries to provide mutual defense.

These examples illustrate the definition of a treaty because they are formal agreements between countries that are followed by the nations involved. They are also governed by international law and are considered federal law in the United States.

@mastermonkey45: Looking at some of the recent decisions in relation to when they went complete, I'd say it's a good sign. It seems many declines were sent within about 5-6 weeks of completion. Given those were applications that were SENT in January, I'd say that means you're still solidly in the running. :)
