Nor does the Senates concurrence give any indication on how the House of Representatives would vote on proposed legislation. That is precisely why the Tenth Amendment and the Constitutions structure place limits on the Presidents power to make treaties. [the] Power . 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. Bond v. United States, 133 S. Ct. 978 (2013). See Lawson & Seidman, supra note 133, at 63. 64 (John Jay), supra note 34, at 388. 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. But the Necessary and Proper Clause combined with a treaty would not, under Rosenkranzs textual argument. 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. But Medelln involved an unusual fact pattern, and many questions remain about the scope of the federal governments treaty power. !PLEASE HELP!!! The only question is whether it is forbidden by some invisible radiation from the general terms of the Tenth Amendment.106, The Court held, by a vote of seven to two, that the Tenth Amendment did not render the treaty invalid.107 Justice Holmes reasoned that [i]t is obvious that there may be matters of the sharpest exigency for the national well being that an act of Congress could not deal with but that a treaty followed by such an act could.108 The Court did not decide whether the two lower federal courts had correctly invalidated the pre-treaty migratory bird statutes as exceeding Congresss enumerated powers.109 But it did identify the purportedly national and international character of migratory birds: The subject-matter is only transitorily within the State and has no permanent habitat therein.110. 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. Congress repealed the existing federal crime for using chemical weapons, which had defined chemical weapon to mean only a weapon that is designed or intended to cause widespread death or serious bodily injury through the release, dissemination, or impact of toxic or poisonous chemicals or precursors of toxic or poisonous chemicals.60 Although that repealed definition was tailored to cover weapons of mass destruction, the new federal crime for using chemical weapons61 swept in many more substances. The President is the Commander in Chief, can grant Pardons, appoints and commissions Officers of the United States with the advice and consent of the Senate, makes recess appointments, must take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed, and can make Treaties with the approval of two-thirds of the Senate.92 But nowhere does the Constitution give the President a general power to do whatever he believes is necessary for the public interest. . Fry v. United States, 421 U.S. 542, 547 n.7 (1975). Sovereignty lies with the people, as Locke taught both us and the Framers. 2, 1992). 38.

Indeed, James Madison remarked that [t]he accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands . 179. As the American people exercised their sovereign will in constituting our government, the Framers did not create a single governmental structure that possessed all power. An Ordinary Man, His Extraordinary Journey, President Harry S. Truman's White House Staff, National History Day Workshops from the National Archives, National Archives and Records Administration. VII(1) (Each State Party shall, in accordance with its constitutional processes, adopt the necessary measures to implement its obligations under this Convention.). Treaties are probably the most prevalent mechanism by which domestic law adopts international law. One need not dream up fanciful hypotheticals to test the outer bounds of the treaty power. 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. In light of the breadth of Congresss implementing statute for the Chemicals Weapons Convention, it should come as no surprise that it was used to prosecute someone for a domestic dispute involving wholly local conduct. Medelln v. Texas, 552 U.S. 491, 504 (2008). . The President, consequently, may have the authority to promise a foreign nation that the United States will enact certain domestic legislation even if Congress has no power to enact this legislation, or the President believes that there is no chance that Congress would enact the legislation even if it had the power.116 In our system of limited government, the President does not have complete power; only Congress exercises the federal legislative power, and significant powers have been reserved for the states. . !PLEASE HELP! 172. 170. Legislation that has nothing to do with a treatys subject matter would be neither necessary nor proper for carrying into Execution that treaty.144 For instance, the Chemical Weapons Convention would not give Congress the authority to enact legislation that has nothing to do with chemical weapons. Either possibility can be prevented if sufficient limits are placed on the federal governments authority to make and implement treaties. Besides this textual argument, there is an even more potent, structural argument for limits on Congresss power to implement treaties. 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 . 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. 52. At the same time, our courts must scrutinize the federal governments powers to make and implement treaties. 53. The treaty was made [and] the statute enacted . The United States agreed in the Convention, however, to enact domestic laws addressing chemical weapons.178 And Congress purported to enact such laws through the Chemical Weapons Convention Implementation Act of 1998. 1277, 130809 (1999). Who has the power to ratify treaties in the United States? at 1882 (alteration in original) (quoting U.S. Const. The Third Circuit held that Bond lacked standing to raise this argument,78 and the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously reversed in finding that Bond did have standing to challenge the Act as applied to her.79 On remand, the Third Circuit rejected Bonds constitutional argument on the merits, finding that Congress had authority to enact the Chemical Weapons Convention Implementation Act under the Necessary and Proper Clause.80 The Third Circuit quoted Justice Holmess 1920 opinion, Missouri v. Holland, for the proposition that, if a treaty is valid, there can be no dispute about the validity of the statute [implementing it] under Article 1, Section 8, as a necessary and proper means to execute the powers of the Government. See supra section III.B.1, pp. Note, however, that Senators were originally chosen by state legislatures rather than through direct election. A 1907 memorandum approved by the Secretary of State stated that the limitations on the treaty power that necessitate legislative implementation may "be found in the Our federal government is one of enumerated, limited powers, and the courts should not let the treaty power become a loophole that jettisons the very real limits on the federal governments authority. The answer is the legislative branch can approve treaties to settle argument that are unconstitutional.

With treaties potentially supplanting federal and state governmental authority, the President and Senate should carefully scrutinize all treaties, as a policy matter. What powers does Congress have? Id. 249 (1989) (statement of J. Robert H. Bork) (describing the Ninth Amendment as an ink blot). John Lockes Second Treatise on Civil Government argued that sovereignty initially lies with the people.29 When Locke wrote this in the seventeenth century, it was a novel idea that shattered the prevailing view that sovereignty lay with the English monarch or parliament. See Medelln v. Texas, 552 U.S. 491, 50405 (2008). !PLEASE HELP! 85. 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. Thus, our fledgling nation had to project strength to the rest of the world while remaining disentangled from conflicts among other countries. -First, it passes an authorization bill that establishes a program and says how much can be spent on the program. 88. Although Congress could rely on one of its enumerated powers besides that arising from the Necessary and Proper Clause such as that laid out in the Commerce Clause the more important question is whether the existence of a treaty can ever enhance Congresss implementation powers or whether the Necessary and Proper Clause always limits Congresss power to implement a treaty. United States v. Bond, 681 F.3d 149, 16566 (3d Cir. , including the prohibition and elimination of all types of weapons of mass destruction.54 The Convention mandates that signatory countries, as opposed to individuals, can never under any circumstances . 2332c(b)(2) (1994 & Supp. That is precisely why the Court subsequently backtracked from its truism comment, noting that [t]he Amendment expressly declares the constitutional policy that Congress may not exercise power in a fashion that impairs the States integrity or their ability to function effectively in a federal system.124 One possible implication of the Courts truism remark is that there are no powers reserved exclusively to the states. oversteps the boundary between federal and state authority.127, Printz v. United States128 subsequently built upon New York in holding that the federal government cannot circumvent [New Yorks] prohibition by conscripting the States officers directly.129 Printz reasoned that such commands are fundamentally incompatible with our constitutional system of dual sovereignty.130 Just recently, the Court relied heavily on New York to invalidate conditional spending provisions of the Affordable Care Act.131 Although Congresss Spending Clause power does not say anything explicit about conditional spending, the Court recognized that coercive conditional spending would undermine the status of the States as independent sovereigns in our federal system.132. 177. Bus. It would have been absurd for the Framers to implement multiple checks and balances for creating a system of dual sovereignty, and to explicitly delineate the Presidents and Congresss powers, only to allow the Treaty Clause power to completely displace all state sovereign authority. . Similarly, the Framers saw they were not living in a world of utopian foreign nations, and these nations often did not have the best interests of the United States in mind. -Second, it 77 [hereinafter Vienna Convention]. Lawson & Seidman, supra note 125, at 63. Whiskey Rebellion In observing that a President could abuse the treaty power for his personal gain if the President alone possessed this power, Hamilton stated: The history of human conduct does not warrant that exalted opinion of human virtue which would make it wise in a nation to commit interests of so delicate and momentous a kind, as those which concern its intercourse with the rest of the world, to the sole disposal of a magistrate created and circumstanced as would be a President of the United States.48.

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. The treaty power is a carefully devised mechanism for the federal government to enter into agreements with foreign nations. 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. 134. 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. Ann. The Court, however, has suggested that this may not be absurd. for carrying into Execution . The writers of the U.S. Constitution didn't want to put too much power into the hands of one person. . 18 U.S.C. Consequently, when the federal government acts to create or implement a treaty, the Constitution requires that it do so pursuant to an enumerated power. 75 (Alexander Hamilton), supra note 34, at 451. We must jealously guard the separation of powers and state sovereignty if we are to preserve the constitutional structure our Framers gave us. The president has the sole power to negotiate treaties. A treaty of peace that formally cedes the conquered territory thereby implements the presidential decision to sacrifice part of the country during wartime in order to save the rest. Id.). The most commonly cited enumerated powers supporting treaties are (1) the Presidents Treaty Clause power, (2) Congresss Commerce Clause power, and (3) Congresss Necessary and Proper Clause power. The first power implicates a treatys creation, while the latter two involve a treatys implementation. Head Money Cases, 112 U.S. 580, 598 (1884). The Constitution gives to the Senate the sole power to approve, by a two-thirds vote, treaties negotiated by the executive branch. . We must return to sovereignty to assess whether constitutional limits exist to restrain the federal governments power to create and implement treaties, and what those limits might be. !PLEASE HELP!!

In the United States, the Executive Branch (President) will negotiate a treaty, and it must be consented to by the Senate with a 2/3 affirmative vote. During Justice Sotomayors Senate Judiciary Committee confirmation hearing, she rightly stated that American law does not permit the use of foreign law or international law to interpret the Constitution.1 But she also correctly recognized that some U.S. laws rely upon certain international law sources.2 For instance, the Alien Tort Statute3 allows federal courts to recognize certain causes of action based on sufficiently definite norms of international law.4. 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. 36.

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. Can prove laws to be against the_Constitution_. This Essay suggests that Missouri v. Holland can be construed simply as rejecting a facial challenge to a particular treaty, which may have validly covered some subject matter falling within Congresss Commerce Clause authority. The Federalist No. is one of limited powers. The Federalist No. If the Tenth Amendment never limits the Presidents authority to enter into a non-self-executing treaty, then Missouri v. Holland would have correctly held that the Tenth Amendment did not deny the President authority to enter into the non-self-executing Migratory Bird Treaty. The Court might invoke the canon of constitutional avoidance to hold that Bonds conduct is not covered by the Act as a matter of statutory interpretation, an argument Bond has pressed. If Justice Holmes was correct, then the President and Senate could agree with a foreign nation to undo the checks and balances created by the people who founded our nation. 18 U.S.C. 149. This competing structural argument also assumes a doubtful premise: that the federal government must have unlimited powers to implement treaties it believes are in the public interest.

II, 2) (internal quotation marks omitted). It can exercise authority over no subjects, except those which have been delegated to it. That said, Missouri v. Holland probably would have to be overruled if one believes that Congress lacked the Commerce Clause authority to implement the Treaty legislatively. See e.g., United States v.

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. 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. Under Morrison, therefore, the Commerce Clause did not give Congress authority to criminalize Bonds acts through the Chemical Weapons Convention Implementation Act of 1998. 46. !PLEASE HELP!!! The people in turn formed our government. The Court rejected a facial challenge to the Migratory Bird Treaty Act168; Missouri had argued only that the Presidents power to make treaties was limited by the Tenth Amendment, such that a treaty could not address subject matter outside the limits of Congresss enumerated legislative powers.169 Justice Holmes erroneously asserted that the Presidents treaty power extended to subjects not expressly enumerated in the Constitution and, in dicta, that Congress had plenary power under the Necessary and Proper Clause to implement a treaty. Roguski said the pandemic treaty also would speed up the approval process for drugs and injectables, provide support for gain-of-function research, develop a Global Review Mechanism to oversee national health systems, implement the concept of One Health, and increase funding for so-called tabletop exercises or simulations. The Constitution gives the Senate the power to approve, by a two-thirds vote, treaties negotiated by the executive branch. Bond will have to resolve whether the Chemical Weapons Convention Implementation Act of 1998 can be applied to Bonds particular local conduct in the midst of a domestic dispute. 539, 619 (1842)). So when the President makes any promise that the United States will take future action that can only be undertaken by other governmental actors, the President never knows for certain whether the United States will follow through and honor this promise. Put another way, when the people acted in their sovereign capacity and created the Constitution, they did not give the federal government all powers.
