Its purpose is to achiev[e] effective progress towards general and complete disarmament . 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. !PLEASE HELP! For example, if the President, with Senate approval, entered into a self-executing treaty that banned all political speech, that treaty would be invalid as contrary to the First Amendments Free Speech Clause. Instead, he and the Senate would have enacted binding domestic law through treaties. Missouri v. Holland, 252 U.S. 416, 43334 (1920). Medelln therefore prevented the President from using a treaty to run roughshod over the courts and the states. As discussed above, non-self-executing treaties create no domestic obligations on the states or individuals,177 so they cannot directly displace state sovereignty protected by the Tenth Amendment. (emphasis omitted)). 88. Whiskey Rebellion The treaty power is a carefully devised mechanism for the federal government to enter into agreements with foreign nations. 2012), cert. Approve treaties negotiated by the executive branch. Their list of treaties in force defines a treaty as an international agreement made by the President of the 77 [hereinafter Vienna Convention]. That realization, though, does not address other important questions about treaties. Id. v. U.S.), 2004 I.C.J. A self-executing treaty will not require congressional implementation, because such a treaty creates domestic law. 155. 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. . '81 The Supreme Court granted certiorari82 and has heard argument in what could be one of the most important treaty cases it has ever considered. 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). 5. See Natl Fedn of Indep. 816-268-8200 | 800-833-1225 The Federalist No. 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. I, 8, art. Treaty Power Law and Legal Definition. 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. 159. Missouri v. Holland, 252 U.S. 416, 432 (1920). at 432, on general grounds, id. at 1900 (emphasis omitted) (quoting Mayor of New Orleans v. United States, 35 U.S. (10 Pet.) !PLEASE HELP! 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. Unlike Missouri v. Holland, Bond presents the Court with an as-applied challenge. Missouri v. Holland and the Presidents Power to Make Non-Self-Executing Treaties. Thus, our fledgling nation had to project strength to the rest of the world while remaining disentangled from conflicts among other countries. The president has the sole power to negotiate 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. 78. Fax: 816-268-8295. It may not be prudent for a President to breach treaties or to enter into treaties that he knows will be ignored. See Medelln v. Texas, 552 U.S. 491, 50405 (2008). treaties and presidential appointments. . 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. Some treaties, like the Arms Trade Treaty,10 the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea,11 and the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities,12 purport to let international actors set policy in areas already regulated by the federal government. The Federalist No. As Solicitor General of Texas, I had the privilege of arguing Medelln v. Texas,17 which recognized critical limits on the federal governments power to use a non-self-executing treaty to supersede state law.18, In Medelln, the United States had entered into the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations,19 a non-self-executing treaty providing that if a person detained by a foreign country so requests, the competent authorities of the receiving State shall, without delay, inform the consular post of the sending State of such detention, and inform the [detainee] of his righ[t] to request assistance from the consul of his own state.20 The International Court of Justice, an arm of the United Nations, held that fifty-one Mexican nationals did not receive their Vienna Convention consular-notification rights before being convicted in state courts.21 The ICJ further ruled that these 51 Mexican nationals were entitled to reconsideration of their state-court convictions and sentences, notwithstanding any state procedural default rules barring defendants from raising these Vienna Convention arguments on collateral review because the issues were not raised at trial or on direct appeal.22 President George W. Bush then issued a Memorandum to the Attorney General, stating that the United States would discharge its international obligations under the ICJs ruling by having State courts give effect to the decision.23, The Court held that state procedural default rules could not be displaced by the non-self-executing Vienna Convention, the ICJs ruling, or the Presidents Memorandum.24 Medelln first ruled that the ICJs ruling was not automatically enforceable domestic law in light of the U.N. Charters structure for enforcing ICJ decisions.25 And it then clarified that the President cannot use a non-self-executing treaty to unilaterally make treaty obligations binding on domestic courts.26. 91. The Senate has the sole power to confirm those of the Presidents appointments that require consent, and to ratify 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. Put another way, when the people acted in their sovereign capacity and created the Constitution, they did not give the federal government all powers. 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. City of Boerne v. Flores, 521 U.S. 507 (1997). .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. First, Missouri v. Holland may have turned on the international character of the regulated subject matter that is, migratory birds. The Framers divided governmental power in this manner because they had seen firsthand, from their experience with Britain, that concentrated authority predictably results in tyranny. If Congress has the power to create a federal criminal code that reaches domestic disputes like the one in Bond, then it is unclear how the states retain any police power that cannot be exercised by the federal government. 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. See id. 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. 39 (James Madison), supra note 34, at 242. 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. !PLEASE HELP! The HarryS. Truman Library and Museum is part of the Presidential Libraries system administered by the National Archives and Records Administration,a federal agency. 316, 407 (1819). The Federalist No. . Fry v. United States, 421 U.S. 542, 547 n.7 (1975). Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. v. Sawyer, 343 U.S. 579, 635 (1952) (Jackson, J., concurring in the judgment). The Federalist No. 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. The Senate has the sole power to confirm those of the Presidents appointments that require consent, and to ratify See, e.g., Rosenkranz, supra note 13 (arguing for limits on Congresss powers to implement treaties). Part III sets forth the central thesis of this Essay: courts should enforce constitutional limits on the Presidents power to make treaties and Congresss power to implement treaties by preventing either from infringing on the sovereignty reserved to the states. 102. 613 (1800)); see Am. Sovereignty should be the touchstone of any debate over the limits on the treaty power. Which of the following were challenges Washington had to face as the first president? Boos v. Barry, 485 U.S. 312, 324 (1988) (quoting Reid v. Covert, 354 U.S. 1, 16 (1957)). . Head Money Cases, 112 U.S. 580, 598 (1884). The president has the sole power to negotiate treaties. Even if one accepts Justice Holmess interpretation of the Necessary and Proper Clause, there could still be limits on Congresss power to implement treaties. Kiobel v. Royal Dutch Petrol. 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. to make Treaties are not the same thing.152. Yet under Justice Holmess view, the legislative powers of Congress are not fixed by the Constitution, but rather may be increased by treaty.154 It would be a remarkable evasion of limited constitutional government if a foreign nations agreement, with the President and two-thirds of the Senate, could allow Congress to exercise powers otherwise reserved to the states. 57. . In his 2005 Harvard Law Review article Executing the Treaty Power, Professor Nicholas Rosenkranz deftly presented both textual and structural arguments for .44. 59. The previous part dealt with limits on the Presidents Treaty Clause power to create a treaty in the first place. 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. 64 (John Jay), supra note 34, at 388. 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. VII(1) (Each State Party shall, in accordance with its constitutional processes, adopt the necessary measures to implement its obligations under this Convention.). (alteration in original) (quoting U.S. Const. 4 (John Jay), supra note 34, at 40 (emphasis omitted). at 1878 n.52 (collecting authorities). . 147. Others have tried to rehabilitate Missouri v. Hollands statement about the Necessary and Proper Clause with a competing structural argument.159 According to this argument, Congress must have the power to implement treaties, or else the President could enter into agreements with foreign nations and have no power to enforce these agreements.161 This result, though, is not absurd.162 As Rosenkranz highlighted, [a]ll non-self-executing treaties rely on the subsequent acquiescence of the House of Representatives something that our treaty partners can never be certain will be forthcoming. So when a foreign nation enters into a non-self-executing treaty with the United States, there is always a possibility that the treaty will not be implemented in the United States even if Congress had the authority under the Commerce Clause or another of its enumerated powers to pass the implementing statute. 125. Even if the Senate ratifies a treaty, it will not be valid 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? 116. 31. Similarly, Congress has no constitutional authority to implement a treaty through legislation that takes away any portion of the sovereignty reserved to the states. Carol Anne Bond lived near Philadelphia, and she sought revenge after finding out that her close friend, Myrlinda Haynes, was pregnant and that the father was Bonds husband.65 Bond harassed Haynes with telephone calls and letters, which resulted in a minor state criminal conviction.66 Bond then stole a particular chemical from her employer, a chemical manufacturer, and ordered another chemical over the internet.67 She placed these chemicals on Hayness mailbox, car door handle, and front doorknob.68 As a result, Haynes suffered a minor burn on her hand.69, Bond probably could have been charged with violations of state law, like assault,70 aggravated assault,71 or harassment.72 Instead, the federal government stepped in and charged Bond with violating the Chemical Weapons Convention Implementation Act, alleging that she used chemical weapons when she placed chemicals on Hayness mailbox, car door handle, and front doorknob.73, Bond argued that Congress lacked the constitutional authority to enact the Act, at least as applied to her conduct in the domestic dispute.74 The district court rejected her argument.75 Bond then pled guilty on the condition that she retained her right to appeal her constitutional argument.76 The district court sentenced her to six years imprisonment.77. Namely, there could have to be a sufficient nexus between the treaty and Congresss implementing legislation. 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. 111. In many ways, this arrangement would resemble the exception Professors Lawson and Seidman recognized regarding the Presidents Treaty Clause power,167 but it would just require Congress to act in conjunction with the President. 83. Constitutional Limits on Creating and Implementing Treaties, http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/07/14/AR2009071402630.html, http://articles.washingtonpost.com/2012-06-22/opinions/35461763_1_royalty-payments-reagan-adviser-sea-treaty, http://www.refworld.org/pdfid/429c2fd94.pdf. Article II, Section 2 provides that the President has the Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur.33 By housing this power in Article II, the Framers designated the treaty power as one of the Presidents executive powers as opposed to one of Congresss legislative powers. -Second, it 12, 153 (Mar. See supra section III.B.1, pp. It was suggested, however, that migratory birds were a subject of concern to other nations as well, for example Canada; and if the United States and Canada agreed to cooperate to protect the birds, Congress could enact the legislation it had previously adopted under its power to do what is necessary and proper to implement the treaty. At the same time, our courts must scrutinize the federal governments powers to make and implement treaties. Why and how is power divided and shared among national state and local governments? 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. 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.). 122. Bond v. United States, which is currently pending before the U.S. Supreme Court, provides a concrete set of facts showing how pervasive the treaty power could be without meaningful constitutional restraints. This view may track similar structural concerns as a Tenth Amendment reserved state sovereignty limit. . 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. Besides this textual argument, there is an even more potent, structural argument for limits on Congresss power to implement treaties. 14. !PLEASE HELP!!! at 1912. Press 2003). 85. 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.

This Essay will proceed in five parts. 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 . Professors Lawson and Seidman may have put it best: If the Treaty Clause does give the President and the Senate power to alter state capitals, . As Rosenkranz has shown, though, that contention is factually inaccurate, because the words enforce treaties were struck from the preceding Militia Clause in Article I, Section 8, and not the Necessary and Proper Clause. To hold otherwise would be to undermine the constitutional structure created at the nations founding. See, e.g., Martin S. Flaherty, Are We to Be a Nation? Id. Years after Missouri v. Holland, one professor tried to use the Necessary and Proper Clauses drafting history to show that Congress had the power to implement treaties. . We must jealously guard the separation of powers and state sovereignty if we are to preserve the constitutional structure our Framers gave us.
