    I think any treaty should by default need approval by legislature for both entering and exiting the treaty, unless the legislature explicitly empowers the president to exit a particular treaty without legislative approval.

    No country would trust the US if treaties could be potentially changed every 4 years by one person.

      Treaties specifically require approval in the Senate. It’s in the Constitution.

      A non-corrupt court system would not permit a President to enter or exit a treaty without Senate confirmation.
