Treaty power refers to the Presidents constitutional authority to make treaties , with the advice and consent of the senate. Id. 163. National De 2, 1992). The Senates veto over the Presidents power to make treaties shows that the treaty power was so substantial that it required further dilution among the branches. In 1988, the Court said it is well established that no agreement with a foreign nation can confer power on the Congress, or on any other branch of Government, which is free from the restraints of the Constitution.'122. Id. Which house has the power to consider treaties with foreign countries? L. Rev. Fry v. United States, 421 U.S. 542, 547 n.7 (1975). The Constitution gives to the Senate the sole power to approve, by a two-thirds vote, treaties negotiated by the executive branch. See The Federalist No. Much of the Framers conception of government is owed to John Locke. This Part will now consider the limits on the Presidents and Congresss enumerated powers to make or implement treaties. We accept the proposition that a fully informed eighteenth-century audience would have been startled to discover that the federal government had no power to cede territory, even as part of a peace settlement. (footnote omitted)). Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite.84 States, moreover, retain a residuary and inviolable sovereignty.85 If there were any doubt about that proposition at the Founding, the Tenth Amendment in the Bill of Rights clarified: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.86 Thus, [a]s every schoolchild learns, our Constitution establishes a system of dual sovereignty between the States and the Federal Government.87, The Supreme Court in the first Bond case, dealing with Bonds standing, expounded on these principles. The Federalist No. Term Limits, Inc. v. Thornton, 514 U.S. 779, 838 (1995) (Kennedy, J., concurring). Some have said that we should not fear such broad power to implement treaties, because political actors in the Senate the body most reflective of state sovereignty sufficiently protect state interests.163 In many ways, this line of thinking is consistent with the view that courts should not enforce limits on Congresss enumerated powers, but should rather be content that the political process can safeguard federalism and the separation of powers.164. 169. In 1836, the Court explained: The government of the United States . Such legislation would lack constitutional authority just like the Gun-Free Schools Zone Act invalidated in United States v. Lopez145 or the parts of the Violence Against Women Act struck down in Morrison.146 The Supreme Court has not had to clarify how closely the implementing legislation must fit with the treaty. . ); id. But cf. then the entire federal structure, apart from a few fortuitously worded prohibitions on federal action in Article I, Section 9, is a President and two-thirds of a quorum of senators (and perhaps a bona fide demand from a foreign government) away from destruction.125. . 147. 122. Missouri v. Holland and the Presidents Power to Make Non-Self-Executing Treaties. As Madison stated, [t]he powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined. United States v. Darby, 312 U.S. 100, 124 (1941); see also Reid v. Covert, 354 U.S. 1, 18 n.35 (1957) (plurality opinion) (citing Darby, 312 U.S. at 12425). Gregory v. Ashcroft, 501 U.S. 452, 457 (1991). Our Constitution, and its structure devised by the Framers, does not allow this destruction of state sovereignty. . The Supreme Court has also repeatedly recognized that our constitutional structure prevents circumvention of enumerated limits on federal power, even if the Constitutions text does not explicitly prohibit a certain exercise of federal power. 18 U.S.C. !PLEASE HELP!!! The president has the sole power to negotiate treaties. In other words, the Tenth Amendment may prohibit the President from entering into treaties regulating wholly domestic conduct, but migratory birds by their nature are not necessarily a matter of pure internal concern. Id. Jay understood that sometimes treaties must be made in secret, and the executive is the branch best positioned to keep negotiation of treaties secret.41 The President was therefore allowed to manage the business of intelligence in such manner as prudence may suggest by negotiating treaties, although the President must, in forming them, act by the advice and consent of the Senate.42 This, Jay realized, provides that our negotiations for treaties shall have every advantage which can be derived from talents, information, integrity, and deliberate investigations, on the one hand, and from secrecy and dispatch on the other.43 Hamilton, too, noted the comparative advantage that the President had over Congress in this regard: The qualities elsewhere detailed as indispensable in the management of foreign negotiations point out the executive as the most fit agent in those transactions . United States v. Curtiss-Wright Export Corp., 299 U.S. 304, 319 (1936) (quoting 10 Annals of Cong. . !PLEASE HELP!!! But that question of prudence is different from the question of constitutional authority to make such a promise. II, 2) (internal quotation marks omitted). 134. Because treaties are the supreme law of the land, they could potentially become a vehicle for the federal government either to give away power to international actors or to accumulate power otherwise reserved for the states or individuals. 181. 75 (Alexander Hamilton), supra note 34, at 449. One frequent objection to structural limits on the Treaty Clause power is that they do not give the federal government sufficient latitude to negotiate peace treaties with concessions.133 This objection posits that the federal government must have authority to preserve the union by getting out of war through any means and that it is absurd to think that ceding state territory is a violation of state sovereignty.134. These and other treaties could be used to infringe on state sovereignty. 1; U.S. Const. Indeed, two-thirds of the Senate may agree to the treaty, but that does not necessarily reflect the Senates view on the propriety of implementing legislation. . granted, 133 S.

Holland28 opinion must be overruled. But even before the Bill of Rights was created, the Constitution painstakingly enumerated the limited powers of the federal government on the basis that states would retain authority in a system of dual sovereignty. Sovereignty lies with the people, as Locke taught both us and the Framers. At the very least, the opinion should have grappled with these precedents if it was going to make broad pronouncements about Congresss ability to implement treaties. ([T]here are situations in which American law tells you to look at international or foreign law.). HELP! at 434); Rosenkranz, supra note 13, at 187879 (noting that Missouri barely touched the question of whether an expansive executive treaty power would give Congress constitutional authority to pass enacting legislation that fell outside its enumerated powers). To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution . The President may very well have constitutional authority to enter into promises that he knows the United States either will not, or cannot, keep. So to test the limits on the Presidents power to make self-executing treaties, make one further assumption: that these hypothetical self-executing treaties cover some areas reserved for the states under our system of dual sovereignty. (internal quotation marks omitted). 84. . . In other words, Congress can pass laws that give the President the resources to exercise his executive power to negotiate and make treaties, but this authority does not necessarily give Congress the power to implement a treaty already made. Pa. v. Casey, 505 U.S. 833, 855 (1992). Namely, there could have to be a sufficient nexus between the treaty and Congresss implementing legislation. 82. 64 (John Jay), supra note 34, at 390. The Constitution gives to the Senate the sole power to approve, by a two-thirds vote, treaties negotiated by the executive branch. . The 1998 Act adopted the Conventions definition of chemical weapon, which covers any toxic chemical and its precursors, except where intended for a purpose not prohibited under this chapter.62 And toxic chemical, in turn, includes any chemical which through its chemical action on life processes can cause death, temporary incapacitation or permanent harm to humans or animals.63 The statute does include an exemption for a toxic chemical intended for [a]ny peaceful purpose related to an industrial, agricultural, research, medical, or pharmaceutical activity or other activity.64 Nevertheless, the chemical weapons crime created by the 1998 Act was not tailored to prohibit only weapons of mass destruction, even though that was the express purpose of the Convention. To hold otherwise would be to undermine the constitutional structure created at the nations founding. 1, 1; U.S. Const. Even if one accepts Justice Holmess interpretation of the Necessary and Proper Clause, there could still be limits on Congresss power to implement treaties. (During wartime, however, the President has the power to cede state territory by refusing to defend it (or by defending it and losing). The Federalist No. 249 (1989) (statement of J. Robert H.

Failing to judicially enforce the limits on federal government power, and the power held by individual branches, is tantamount to ignoring the sovereign will of the people who created government in the first place. The Role of Congress in Adopting International Treaties. There is nothing in [Article VI, the Supremacy Clause,] which intimates that treaties and laws enacted pursuant to them do not have to comply with the provisions of the Constitution. Finally, Part V concludes by applying this Essays framework to contend that the Supreme Court should reverse the Third Circuits ruling in Bond and overturn Bonds federal conviction. . 153. !PLEASE HELP! 47 (James Madison), supra note 34, at 298. 24, 1963, 21 U.S.T. 88. 613 (1800)); see Am.

More fundamentally, a non-self-executing treaty might never violate the Tenth Amendment or infringe on state sovereignty. Both involve the application of a federal statute to a wholly local assault covered by state criminal law. Whether one couches this as a Tenth Amendment or a structural argument, the basic point is the people, acting in their sovereign capacity, delegated only limited powers to the federal government while reserving the remaining sovereign powers to the states or individuals. The Senate has the sole power to confirm those of the Presidents appointments that require consent, and to ratify But perhaps, if called to do so, the Court would adopt a doctrine similar to the City of Boerne congruence-and-proportionality doctrine,147 under which the subject matter of the implementing legislation could not substantially exceed the treatys subject matter. !PLEASE HELP! 115. As Jay remarked: The power of making treaties is an important one, especially as it relates to war, peace, and commerce; and it should not be delegated but in such a mode, and with such precautions, as will afford the highest security that it will be exercised by men the best qualified for the purpose, and in the manner most conducive to the public good.39, Hamilton, too, did not trust the President alone to wield the hefty treaty power, as he feared that one could betray the interests of the state to the acquisition of wealth.40, At the same time, the Framers realized it was impractical to expect a collective body, like Congress or the Senate, to negotiate the minutiae of treaties. It would be manifestly contrary to the objectives of those who created the Constitution, as well as those who were responsible for the Bill of Rights let alone alien to our entire constitutional history and tradition to construe Article VI as permitting the United States to exercise power under an international agreement without observing constitutional prohibitions. Two-thirds of the Senate must approve of a treaty before it goes into effect. With treaties potentially supplanting federal and state governmental authority, the President and Senate should carefully scrutinize all treaties, as a policy matter. The Federalist No. As early as 1836, the Court explained, Congress cannot, by legislation, enlarge the federal jurisdiction, nor can it be enlarged under the treaty-making power.119 In 1872, the Court expanded on this point: [T]he framers of the Constitution intended that [the treaty power] should extend to all those objects which in the intercourse of nations had usually been regarded as the proper subjects of negotiation and treaty, if not inconsistent with the nature of our government and the relation between the States and the United States.120, So by 1890, the Court noted that the treaty power is subject to those restraints which are found in [the Constitution] against the action of the government . The power of the Executive Branch is vested in the President of the United States, who also acts as head of state and Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces. Medelln v.

[A]llocation of powers in our federal system preserves the integrity, dignity, and residual sovereignty of the States . But if Missouri v. Holland cannot be construed in that way, then it should be overruled in light of recent precedents from the Rehnquist Court and Roberts Court that police the boundaries of our constitutional structure. In the words of Justice Kennedy: The Framers split the atom of sovereignty.30 That is, the Framers ingeniously divided governmental power through various mechanisms, such as the separation of powers and federalism. If the federal Treaty Clause power could violate state sovereignty, it would disrupt our constitutional structure and encroach on state sovereignty just like in New York, Printz, and NFIB v. Sebelius. !PLEASE HELP!!!! 87. 75 (Alexander Hamilton), supra note 34, at 450. Under Morrison, therefore, the Commerce Clause did not give Congress authority to criminalize Bonds acts through the Chemical Weapons Convention Implementation Act of 1998.

The Roberts Court, too, has continued to enforce structural limits on the balance of power between the federal and state governments.175 These developments may very well render Missouri v. Holland a doctrinal anachronism that stare decisis should not save.176. In fact, the Supreme Court recognized this structural argument favoring limits on Congresss power to implement treaties long before Missouri v. Holland. Professors Gary Lawson and Guy Seidman have presented a distinct argument that the Presidents treaty power should be limited by his other enumerated executive powers. Thomas Jefferson, Manual of Parliamentary Practice 110 (Clark & Maynard 1870) (1801) (emphasis added). See Curtiss-Wright, 299 U.S. at 315 (noting the fundamental differences between the powers of the federal government in respect of foreign or external affairs and those in respect of domestic or internal affairs). Some have plausibly argued that even if the President could enter into a treaty that covered subject matter outside of Congresss enumerated powers, Congresss powers still would not be increased.142. !PLEASE HELP!!! 397. But the Necessary and Proper Clause combined with a treaty would not, under Rosenkranzs textual argument. Sovereignty should be the touchstone of any debate over the limits on the treaty power.

FILL IN THE BLANKS USING THE INFORMATION ON THE FIRST PAGE, 500 W US Hwy 24 Either possibility can be prevented if sufficient limits are placed on the federal governments authority to make and implement treaties. It would not be contended that it extends so far as to authorize what the Constitution forbids, or a change in the character of the government or in that of one of the States, or a cession of any portion of the territory of the latter, without its consent.135, Regardless, even if the President must have the ability to cede state territory as part of a peace treaty, Professors Lawson and Seidman respond by arguing that this could be cabined as a narrow exception to Tenth Amendment state sovereignty limits on the Treaty Clause power. The Constitution gives to the (alteration in original) (quoting U.S. Const. I, 8, art. A four-Justice plurality acknowledged this principle in Reid v. Covert,95 holding that treaties authorizing military commission trials of American citizens abroad on military bases could not displace Fifth and Sixth Amendment criminal procedure rights.96 Justice Black, joined by Chief Justice Warren, Justice Douglas, and Justice Brennan, recognized: [N]o agreement with a foreign nation can confer power on the Congress, or on any other branch of Government, which is free from the restraints of the Constitution. In effect, such construction would permit amendment of that document in a manner not sanctioned by Article V. The prohibitions of the Constitution were designed to apply to all branches of the National Government and they cannot be nullified by the Executive or by the Executive and the Senate combined.97, In the Bond litigation, the Obama Administration appears to agree that treaties cannot violate the Constitutions express prohibitions (such as those in the Bill of Rights).98, In contrast, the Administration appears to argue that the treaty power contains no subject-matter-based limitations.99 This is the predominant view in the legal academy: that there are essentially no other subject-matter limits on the Presidents power to make treaties.100 Under this majority view, which stems from Missouri v. Holland, a treaty can exercise power otherwise reserved to the states. . . There are critical limits on the Presidents power to make treaties: (1) two-thirds of the Senate must approve of the treaty; (2) the treaty cannot violate an independent constitutional bar; and (3) the treaty cannot disrupt our constitutional structure by giving away sovereignty reserved to the states.

If the President validly creates a treaty, another question regarding the federal governments treaty powers arises: are there limits on Congresss ability to implement duly made treaties? A treaty is primarily a compact between independent nations.5 Article II, Section 2 of the Constitution gives the President the power to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur.6 And the Supremacy Clause provides that treaties, like statutes, count as the supreme law of the land.7 Some treaties automatically have effect as domestic law8 these are called self-executing treaties.
