Congress has the power to: Make laws. McCulloch v. Maryland, 17 U.S. (4 Wheat.) Instead, he and the Senate would have enacted binding domestic law through treaties. 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. The first two limits are widely recognized, but most scholars believe the third was rejected in Justice Holmess 1920 decision in Missouri v. Holland.93 This Essay, however, argues in favor of all three limitations, which would preserve constitutional limits on federal power and protect state sovereignty. 49. . !PLEASE HELP!!! 1. 397. 172.

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 . 4.

Treaties are probably the most prevalent mechanism by which domestic law adopts international law. . Dual sovereignty therefore properly constrains the federal governments treaty power. The Reid plurality quoted an 1890 Supreme Court precedent for the proposition that a treaty cannot take away state territory without the states consent: The treaty power, as expressed in the Constitution, is in terms unlimited except by those restraints which are found in that instrument against the action of the government or of its departments, and those arising from the nature of the government itself and of that of the States. 147. Either way, we must determine whether any of the . And they also created a judicial branch to check the legislative and executive branches. Missouri v. Holland treated the Tenth Amendment as essentially an unenforceable ink blot172 or rather, an invisible ink blot.173 Likewise, the Reid v. Covert plurality distinguished Missouri v. Holland by citing to the case that perniciously declared that the Tenth Amendment was but a truism.174 However, the Rehnquist Courts revitalization of structural constitutional limits to federal authority in Lopez, Morrison, New York, Printz, and other cases rejects the view that this Amendment can be read out of the Constitution. Gregory v. Ashcroft, 501 U.S. 452, 457 (1991). This clause gives the President the Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur.94 This places an obvious limitation on the Presidents power to make treaties: if fewer than two-thirds of the Senators present concur that the treaty should be made, then the United States has not made any treaty. !PLEASE HELP!

As with limits on the Presidents Treaty Clause power, the best arguments in favor of expansive congressional power to implement treaties involve wartime hypotheticals about peace-treaty concessions.166 Many of those concerns have already been discussed.

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.

Under this view, the President could enter into a non-self-executing treaty to cede state territory, and then Congress would have the power to implement that treaty in light of war concerns. Under a Tenth Amendment limit, it does not matter whether the Treaty Clause possibly grants some substantive powers beyond the Presidents other enumerated powers the President still could not displace reserved state sovereignty even if the Treaty Clause would otherwise grant him additional substantive powers. 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.
