Which of the following is necessary for a treaty to be ratified? Correct Answer It must be passed by the Senate by a two-thirds majority vote.
After a president (or his or her representatives) has negotiated a treaty, it must be ratified by the Senate before it takes effect. Ratification requires that the Senate approve the treaty by a two-thirds majority. The most famous example of a treaty NOT ratified by the Senate was the treaty negotiated by Woodrow Wilson ending World War I.
