George W, Bush creating a "smart border" with Mexico

Explanation:

A treaty can be described as a formally written and concluded agreement between states. In the formation of a treaty, the approval of Congress matters and is a must. A treaty is also known as international agreement.

In contrast, a executive government is an agreement which is made by the head of two states. A treaty is ratified by a legislature whereas an executive agreement is not ratified by the legislature. A treaty is a legal binding whereas an executive binding is a legal binding. Example of executive agreement is George W, Bush creating a "smart border" with Mexico.
