75 (Alexander Hamilton), supra note 34, at 450. 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. 2. (alteration in original) (quoting U.S. Const. 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. Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. v. Sawyer, 343 U.S. 579, 635 (1952) (Jackson, J., concurring in the judgment). 2012), cert. Can a The previous part dealt with limits on the Presidents Treaty Clause power to create a treaty in the first place. 38. art. art. Specific powers given to Congress are the right to determine member seating and rules of procedure, the powers to impose taxes, borrow money, provide for military forces, regulate interstate commerce, declare war, initiate impeachment proceedings through the House of Representatives, and adjudicate impeachment through the Senate.

Three Branches of Government The Balance of Government (answers) The Balance of Government (answers) EXECUTIVE LEGISLATIVE Interprets _ laws _. 229229F (2012); 22 U.S.C. Even if the Senate ratifies a treaty, it will not be valid unless the president then approves the Senate version of the treaty. 114. Luckily, the Roberts Court has signaled that it will recognize the limits on the federal governments treaty power. 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. 165. Nor does the Tenth Amendment simply state a truism, as the Supreme Court infamously surmised in 1941.123 The Tenth Amendment was included in the Bill of Rights to recognize that there are, in fact, significant powers reserved to the states. 133. 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. Bond v. United States, 131 S. Ct. 2355, 2364 (2011). But regardless of whether Congress had that authority, the President had the Treaty Clause power to make the treaty, even if he knew that the promise of U.S. participation could never be kept. United States v. Curtiss-Wright Export Corp., 299 U.S. 304, 319 (1936) (quoting 10 Annals of Cong. 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.). Best Answer. 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. 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. United States v. Bond, 681 F.3d 149, 151 (3d Cir. The Constitution gives the Senate the power to approve for ratification, by a two-thirds vote, treaties negotiated by the president and the executive branch. For nearly a century, the touchstone of this analysis has been one line from Missouri v. Holland: If the treaty is valid there can be no dispute about the validity of the [implementing] statute under Article I, 8, as a necessary and proper means to execute the powers of the Government.143 So according to Justice Holmes, the Necessary and Proper Clause gives Congress authority to pass any legislation implementing a treaty. at 152 (quoting Missouri v. Holland, 252 U.S. 416, 432 (1920)). 24, 1963, 21 U.S.T. . The Federalist No. VII(1) (Each State Party shall, in accordance with its constitutional processes, adopt the necessary measures to implement its obligations under this Convention.). See Medelln v. Texas, 552 U.S. 491, 50405 (2008). at 1892 (emphasis omitted) (quoting Prigg v. Pennsylvania, 41 U.S. (16 Pet.) The President therefore cannot unilaterally enter into a treaty. 31). . With treaties potentially supplanting federal and state governmental authority, the President and Senate should carefully scrutinize all treaties, as a policy matter. 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. 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. 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. 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. Nomination of Robert H. Bork to Be Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States: Hearings Before the S. Comm. !PLEASE HELP! 125. This principle was most clearly enshrined in the Tenth Amendment. . 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 Constitution, and its structure devised by the Framers, does not allow this destruction of state sovereignty. 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. McCulloch v. Maryland, 17 U.S. (4 Wheat.) Missouri v. Holland, 252 U.S. 416, 432 (1920). The Necessary and Proper Clause, combined with the Treaty, would not be sufficient to displace state sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment, according to this Essays framework. 662, 736 (1836). 179. 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. 1. Approves treaties Approves presidential appointments Impeaches and tries federal officers Overrides a president's veto Two lower federal courts declared the statute invalid, finding that it was not within any enumerated power of Congress, and the Department of Justice feared that the statute might meet the same fate in the Supreme Court. !PLEASE HELP! The Senate has the sole power to confirm those of the Presidents appointments that require consent, and to ratify treaties. Co., 133 S. Ct. 1659, 1664 (2013). Nor does the Senates concurrence give any indication on how the House of Representatives would vote on proposed legislation. If the federal government could evade the limits on its powers by making or implementing treaties, then our system of dual sovereignty would be grievously undermined. A non-self-executing treaty will raise questions about Congresss power to implement these treaties, because they will require congressional implementation to impose domestic obligations on individuals. Id. 34. To hold otherwise would be to undermine the constitutional structure created at the nations founding. 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. See, e.g., Martin S. Flaherty, Are We to Be a Nation? The Chemical Weapons Convention is a non-self-executing treaty, just as the Migratory Bird Treaty was in Missouri v. Holland. 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. Sovereignty lies with the people, as Locke taught both us and the Framers. It may not be prudent for a President to breach treaties or to enter into treaties that he knows will be ignored. . -First, it passes an authorization bill that establishes a program and says how much can be spent on the program. See id. 177. Under this Essays framework, the President may have had the Treaty Clause power to make the Chemical Weapons Convention. 40. 11. We must jealously guard the separation of powers and state sovereignty if we are to preserve the constitutional structure our Framers gave us. CQ Transcriptions, Sen. Chuck Schumer Holds a Hearing on the Nomination of Judge Sonia Sotomayor to Be an Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, Wash. Post (July 14, 2009, 4:24 PM), http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/07/14/AR2009071402630.html. But the ultimate concern of a Tenth Amendment limit is preserving state sovereignty as a structural principle, as opposed to having to answer whether the Treaty Clause grants substantive powers. Put another way, when the people acted in their sovereign capacity and created the Constitution, they did not give the federal government all powers. 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. art. Medelln v. Texas, 552 U.S. 491, 504 (2008) (internal quotation marks omitted); see also Chemical Weapons Convention, supra note 53, art. 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. The expedited consideration of free trade agreements, known as Trade Promotion Authority (TPA), was formerly known as fast track legislative process because a bill avoids many of the timely legislative constraints, such as the filibuster or amending the bill to change the terms of the agreement. The Constitution gives to the Senate the sole power to approve, by a two-thirds vote, treaties negotiated by the executive branch. Sovereignty, the Treaty Power, and Foreign Affairs, III. 1, 1; U.S. Const. . 51 (James Madison), supra note 34, at 319. 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. at 265961 (joint dissent).

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. at 498 (quoting Memorandum from President George W. Bush to the Attorney General (Feb. 28, 2005), available at http://www.refworld.org/pdfid/429c2fd94.pdf).).) What powers does Congress have? 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 Morrison, the Court invalidated part of the Violence Against Women Act of 1994 on the basis that it would have usurped the states police power to implement criminal laws for wholly local conduct.180 The parallels between Morrison and Bond are striking. . 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. Medelln, 552 U.S. at 499 (alterations in original) (quoting Vienna Convention, supra note 19, art. Id. See The Federalist No. 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. Ann. v. U.S.), 2004 I.C.J. . This Essay suggests that Missouri v.

The treaty power is a carefully devised mechanism for the federal government to enter into agreements with foreign nations. treaties and presidential appointments. . 48. The President faces this scenario any time the President enters into a non-self-executing treaty promising domestic legislation. 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. 52. 64 (John Jay), supra note 34, at 388. 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 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. 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. . 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. 115. 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. 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. 75 (Alexander Hamilton), supra note 34, at 450. First it creates a national government consisting of a And virtually every important thinker who influenced the founding generation thought of treaty making as an executive function.34, Yet just as the President retains a veto power over Congresss legislative power,35 the Senate retains a veto over the Presidents treaty power by preventing adoption of a treaty unless two thirds of the Senate approves. 116. 31. 122.

Impeach and try federal officers. 249 (1989) (statement of J. Robert H. Bork) (describing the Ninth Amendment as an ink blot). Congresss implementing statute went far beyond the purpose of the Convention by covering much more than weapons of mass destruction. At the same time, our courts must scrutinize the federal governments powers to make and implement treaties. I, 8, art. 44. Treaties are probably the most prevalent mechanism by which domestic law adopts international law. 124. In any event, even if there are certain hypotheticals involving war that may increase the treaty power, the sovereignty of the people and the sovereignty they duly delegated to the states at the Founding should not be discarded lightly. United States v. Bond, 681 F.3d 149, 162 n.14 (3d Cir. must establish that no set of circumstances exists under which the Act would be valid.). at 1900 (emphasis omitted) (quoting Mayor of New Orleans v.

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. !PLEASE HELP!!! 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 . .
