The US foreign policy establishment mostly bypasses the treaty ratification process nowadays because of the embarrassments that occur when they are not ratified. The number of signed, ratified, in-force treaties is probably much smaller than you think it is.
The treaty legal process in the US was honestly not very well thought out to start with - the Congressional oversight role as practiced is treated more like a rubber stamp procedurally. And of course, they are set aside when the establishment finds them inconvenient. It’s mostly settled law the executive can unilaterally terminate or suspend treaties.
And many, many treaties approved by Congress.
