211, 243 (1872). 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. As Madison stated, [t]he powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined. See supra section III.B.1, pp. . vote in Even if the Senate ratifies a treaty, it will not be valid This Essay argues to the contrary: the President cannot make a treaty that displaces the sovereign powers reserved to the states.101.

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. They correctly believed that societies could not magically progress to a point where humans constantly looked out for a common good divorced from self-interest. 20. v. Sebelius, 132 S. Ct. 2566 (2012). at 1882 (alteration in original) (quoting U.S. Const. According to that professor, The necessary and proper clause originally contained expressly the power to enforce treaties but it was stricken as superfluous. Id. To project strength, Jay counseled that a federal government, rather than thirteen separate state governments, was necessary to maintain security for the preservation of peace and tranquillity.49 And to avoid entanglements with other countries, Jay advised that the United States should not give foreign nations just causes of war.50 Specifically, Jay identified violations of treaties and direct violence as the two most prevalent just causes of war.51 Of course, nations also go to war for unjust or pretended causes, like military glory, ambition, or commercial motives.52 In any event, Jay rightfully explained that strength would dissuade other countries from disrupting our peace. Stated differently: just because the President enters into an agreement with Senate approval, it does not follow that the treaty will be implemented, so the inability to implement certain treaties is wholly consistent with the nature of non-self-executing treaties. The answer is the legislative branch can approve treaties to settle argument that are unconstitutional. 171, 6 I.L.M. The Constitution gives to the Senate the sole power to approve, by a two-thirds vote, treaties negotiated by the executive branch. Hope it helped! 2332c(b)(2) (1994 & Supp. Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. v. Sawyer, 343 U.S. 579, 635 (1952) (Jackson, J., concurring in the judgment). 53. 28 U.S.C. The Constitution gives the Senate the power to approve, by a two-thirds vote, treaties negotiated by the executive branch. .102, The Migratory Bird Treaty at issue in Missouri v. Holland was a non-self-executing treaty.103 Rather than challenge Congresss authority to pass a statute implementing this treaty, Missouri challenged the Presidents authority to make the treaty in the first place.104 Missouri argued that the Presidents power to make treaties was limited by the Tenth Amendment, such that a treaty could not address subject matter that did not fall within Congresss enumerated legislative powers.105 Justice Holmes phrased the question presented, with evident disdain, as, The treaty in question does not contravene any prohibitory words to be found in the Constitution. The Constitution did not specify which branch should be the final arbiter of interpreting the Constitution, but that question has been settled for centuries the judicial branch has the power of judicial review under Marbury v. Madison.165 Judicial review should not apply only to those provisions of the Constitution favored by liberal academics. The United States Senate has the power to approve treaties. The Senates authority to approve a treaty is based on the Treaty Clause in the United States Constitution. What Is a Treaty? A treaty is a formal agreement between two or more nations. It is an agreement between all parties that will become international law. Bus. Id. 52. See, e.g., Martin S. Flaherty, Are We to Be a Nation?

Many commentators are chomping at the bit for the federal government to make or implement treaties as a way of enacting laws that the Supreme Court has otherwise held as exceeding the federal governments powers.13 As Professor Nicholas Rosenkranz noted, scholars have even suggested that the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights14 could resuscitate the Religious Freedom Restoration Act partially invalidated in City of Boerne v. Flores15 or the Violence Against Women Act partially invalidated in United States v. Morrison.16. What does the judicial branch do with laws? 119.

The Chemical Weapons Convention is a non-self-executing treaty, just as the Migratory Bird Treaty was in Missouri v. Holland. 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. .

Some of the same concerns addressed in the previous part about the Presidents Treaty Clause power will also be present in analyzing Congresss power to implement treaties, but the two are not necessarily intertwined. This EssayEssay has argued that the Necessary and Proper Clause alone does not give Congress power to implement treaties in a way that contravenes the structural limitations on the federal governments powers. Does the House have the power to approve foreign treaties? The Federalist No. 229229F (2012); 22 U.S.C. 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. VII(1) (Each State Party shall, in accordance with its constitutional processes, adopt the necessary measures to implement its obligations under this Convention.). 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. 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. Nomination of Robert H. Bork to Be Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States: Hearings Before the S. Comm. 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. Treaty Power Law and Legal Definition.

See, e.g., Lawson & Seidman, supra note 125, at 6267. the rights reserved to the states; for surely the President and Senate cannot do by treaty what the whole government is interdicted from doing in any way.118. 1, 1; U.S. Const. United States v. Lopez, 514 U.S. 549, 566 (1995). 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.

U.S.), 2004 I.C.J. 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 . 816-268-8200 | 800-833-1225 156. Article II delineates the Presidents powers at a higher level of generality, but those powers are nevertheless still enumerated.

Congress cannot, by legislation, enlarge the federal jurisdiction, nor can it be enlarged under the treaty-making power.155, And a few years later, Justice Story, writing for the Supreme Court, reasoned that the Necessary and Proper Clause did not give Congress carte blanche power to implement treaties: [A]lthough the power is given to the executive, with the consent of the senate, to make treaties, the power is nowhere in positive terms conferred upon Congress to make laws to carry the stipulations of treaties into effect.156, With these precedents on the books, Justice Holmess single line from Missouri v. Holland seems quite out of place. Thus, our fledgling nation had to project strength to the rest of the world while remaining disentangled from conflicts among other countries. (Select all that apply) The Appointments Clause of the United States Constitution grants the president the authority to nominate, and with the advice and consent of the Senate, appoint officers of To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution . 174. .

For example, Congress has the power to tax and spend, to regulate commerce with foreign nations and among the several states, and to declare war.90 The Constitution therefore withhold[s] from Congress a plenary police power that would authorize enactment of every type of legislation.91. Copy. . L. Rev. 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. 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. In 1836, the Court explained: The government of the United States . 75 (Alexander Hamilton), supra note 34, at 365 (stating that treaties are not rules prescribed by the sovereign to the subject, but agreements between sovereign and sovereign). . One might argue that, even if the President lacks authority to enter into a self-executing treaty displacing state sovereignty, Congress may have Necessary and Proper Clause authority to implement a non-self-executing treaty if a foreign nation has engaged in or threatened war. One would still have to determine whether there were limits on (1) the Presidents power to make self-executing treaties or (2) Congresss authority to legislatively implement treaties. The 1993 Chemical Weapons Convention formally known as the Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production, Stockpiling and Use of Chemical Weapons and on Their Destruction53 is an international arms-control agreement. The Constitution gives each branch powers that limit the powers of the other two. 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. 147.

The Federalist No. The Supreme Court in Medelln ruled that the President lacks constitutional authority to transform[] an international obligation arising from a non-self-executing treaty into domestic law.140 That responsibility, the Court held, falls to Congress.141 So we must consider whether there are any limits on Congresss ability to implement a treaty legislatively. See U.S. Const. Executive Powers challenged provisions . . The president has the sole power to negotiate treaties. The Framers explicitly enumerated the powers of the federal government, and all unenumerated powers were reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.117 If the states retain some sphere of sovereign authority over which the federal government has no power, then all attempts by the federal government to infringe on this sovereign state authority should be unconstitutional regardless of whether the federal government tries to do so through the Presidents Treaty Clause power or Congresss enumerated powers. The President may very well have constitutional authority to enter into promises that he knows the United States either will not, or cannot, keep. 1996) (footnotes omitted). In his 2005 Harvard Law Review article Executing the Treaty Power, Professor Nicholas Rosenkranz deftly presented both textual and structural arguments for additional limits on Congresss power to implement treaties.148 As a textual matter, Rosenkranz returned to the actual words of the Constitution by grammatically combining the Treaty Clause with the Necessary and Proper Clause: The Congress shall have Power .

Perhaps such an implementing statute would be unconstitutional as applied to birds that remain intrastate (if those birds would even be migratory or covered by the statute), because Congresss enumerated powers might not extend that far.170 But the Courts subsequent doctrine on facial challenges clarifies that, outside the free speech context, the Court cannot invalidate a statute in whole unless the statute is unconstitutional in all of its applications.171 The Court in Missouri v. Holland, therefore, could have correctly rejected a facial challenge to Congresss implementation of the Migratory Bird Treaty. 51 (James Madison), supra note 34, at 319. , 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 . Term Limits, Inc. v. Thornton, 514 U.S. 779, 838 (1995) (Kennedy, J., concurring). develop, produce, otherwise acquire, stockpile or retain chemical weapons or use them.55 It further requires signatory states to prohibit individuals from acting in a manner that would violate the Convention if the individuals were a signatory state.56 But the Convention does not contain self-executing provisions that obligate states to impose these duties on individuals. This principle was most clearly enshrined in the Tenth Amendment. 2012), cert. First it creates a national government consisting of a See The Federalist No. The rationale for this exception would be that ceding state territory as part of a peace treaty implements the presidential decision to sacrifice part of the country during wartime in order to save the rest.136 But Lawson and Seidman would cabin this authority to cede state territory to peace settlement[s] made during wartime; the Treaty Clause power would not permit this otherwise, so the President could not cede state territory via treaty as part of ordinary commercial relations.137 Perhaps a formal congressional declaration of war, or its equivalent, generally would be required for the President to have power to cede state territory.138 This structural check would ensure that the significant power to displace state sovereignty was used only with the acquiescence of both houses of Congress when the Presidents authority is at its maximum, per Justice Jacksons famous Steel Seizure concurrence.139. One need not dream up fanciful hypotheticals to test the outer bounds of the treaty power. . But cf. . See Chemical Weapons Convention, supra note 53, art. 31). 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. 111. Reid v. Covert, 354 U.S. 1, 1718 (1957) (plurality opinion) (quoting Geofroy v. Riggs, 133 U.S. 258, 267 (1890) (internal quotation marks omitted)). United States v. Lopez, 514 U.S. 549, 552 (1995). Consequently, the Supreme Court should reverse Bonds conviction. Medelln v. Texas, 552 U.S. 491, 504 (2008). . 116. Either possibility can be prevented if sufficient limits are placed on the federal governments authority to make and implement treaties. Note, however, that Senators were originally chosen by state legislatures rather than through direct election. Because we must never forget that it is a constitution we are expounding, the Court must remember the Constitutions great outlines and important objects.181 The Framers genius in dividing sovereign authority between the federal and state governments certainly qualifies as one of the great outlines and important objects that Chief Justice Marshall deemed necessary for interpreting the Constitution. But it bears mentioning that one could imagine a middle position that avoids some of the deleterious consequences of limiting the Presidents Treaty Clause power. Both involve the application of a federal statute to a wholly local assault covered by state criminal law. 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. 143. 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. 34. 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. Marbury v. Madison, 5 U.S. (1 Cranch) 137 (1803). 39 (James Madison), supra note 34, at 242. Even if one accepts Justice Holmess interpretation of the Necessary and Proper Clause, there could still be limits on Congresss power to implement treaties. And they also created a judicial branch to check the legislative and executive branches. Sovereignty, the Treaty Power, and Foreign Affairs, III. 135. 1277, 130809 (1999). The Presidents Power to Make Self-Executing Treaties. How does the legislative branch approving treaties balance the government? Can prove laws to be . Part III therefore argues that the President cannot make any treaties displacing state sovereignty and that the Necessary and Proper Clause power does not give Congress the authority to implement a treaty in a way that displaces state sovereignty. The president has the sole power to negotiate treaties. Why and how is power divided and shared among national state and local governments? 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. (granting certiorari). 2. So it is a non-self-executing treaty that does not automatically have effect as domestic law.57, The U.S. Senate ratified the Convention in 1997.58 A year later, Congress acted to implement the Convention by creating domestic law that would prohibit individuals from violating the Convention, the Chemical Weapons Convention Implementation Act of 1998.59.
