how did franklin d. roosevelt avoid the usual checks and balances necessary when working with foreign governments?
he conducted a shadow war to protect the united states during world war ii
he negotiated an executive agreement to aid great britain in fighting nazi germany
he withheld his acknowledgment of the cuban government as legitimate
he worked with congress to obtain authorization to use force in afghanistan

Explanation:

• Executive agreements are made by the president and do not require Senate ratification (which is part of the checks - and - balances for treaties).
• During World War II, Roosevelt used executive agreements. For example, the Lend - Lease program was facilitated through executive agreements.
• A shadow war (not a standard constitutional - bypassing method in the context of foreign relations checks - and - balances), withholding recognition (more of a diplomatic stance not directly bypassing checks - and - balances in the sense of foreign policy actions), and working with Congress (is following the checks - and - balances) are not correct.

Answer:

He negotiated an executive agreement to aid Great Britain in fighting Nazi Germany.
