Answer

The answer is True

Explanation

The U.S. Constitution grants the Senate the power to ratify treaties, but it requires a two-thirds vote of the Senate, not just a simple majority. This is outlined in Article II, Section 2, Clause 2 of the Constitution, which states that the President "shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two-thirds of the Senators present concur."
