Correct answers: negotiating treaties, and (indirectly) increasing spending on foreign aid.
- Negotiating treaties: yes — the President negotiates treaties with other countries (they become binding only if the Senate ratifies them).
- Confirming ambassadors: no — the President nominates ambassadors; the Senate confirms them.
- Declaring war: no — only Congress can declare war (the President can order military action, but formal declaration is congressional).
- Increasing foreign-aid spending: partly — the President can propose and push for higher foreign-aid funding and direct some executive-branch aid programs, but Congress controls appropriations and must approve most spending.
