## Step 1The problem presents an excerpt from the United States Constitution, specifically Article II, Section 2. This excerpt describes certain powers that an official possesses. The task is to identify which official these powers belong to.## Step 2The excerpt states that the official in question has the power to make treaties and appoint ambassadors, but only with the advice and consent of the Senate. This means that the official's power is not absolute, but is subject to the approval of the Senate.## Step 3The excerpt also specifies that the official must have the approval of two-thirds of the Senators present to make treaties. This indicates that the official's power is not just subject to the Senate's approval, but also to a supermajority of the Senate.## Step 4Given these conditions, it is clear that the official in question is the President of the United States. The President has the power to make treaties and appoint ambassadors, but only with the advice and consent of the Senate. This is consistent with the powers of the President as outlined in the U.S. Constitution.
