Under the framework set forth in this Essay, the President may have had the Treaty Clause power to make the Migratory Bird Treaty, because it was a non-self-executing treaty. 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. 116. The separation of powers and federalism, therefore, are a manifestation of the Framers rejection of unchecked government power. at 1892 (emphasis omitted) (quoting Prigg v.

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 .

The central thesis of this Essay is simple: the President, even with Senate acquiescence, has no constitutional authority to make a treaty with a foreign nation that gives away any portion of the sovereignty reserved to the states. 47 (James Madison), supra note 34, at 298. 101. PLEASE HELP!!! Both involve the application of a federal statute to a wholly local assault covered by state criminal law. Individual liberty is also preserved by divided government: By denying any one government complete jurisdiction over all the concerns of public life, federalism protects the liberty of the individual from arbitrary power.89, So the people, acting as sovereign, only delegated to the federal government certain enumerated powers. . Failing to judicially enforce the limits on federal government power, and the power held by individual branches, is tantamount to ignoring the sovereign will of the people who created government in the first place.

FILL IN THE BLANKS USING THE INFORMATION ON THE FIRST PAGE, 500 W US Hwy 24 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. Gary Lawson & Guy Seidman, The Jeffersonian Treaty Clause , 2006 U. Ill. L. Rev. 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. In the words of Justice Kennedy: The Framers split the atom of sovereignty.30 That is, the Framers ingeniously divided governmental power through various mechanisms, such as the separation of powers and federalism. 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. 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. Perhaps another one of Congresss enumerated powers such as the Commerce Clause might happen to give Congress that authority. 41. 46. !PLEASE HELP! 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. . The Supreme Court is on the cusp of deciding another important case about the treaty power: Bond v. United States.27 Bond will test whether an international treaty gave Congress the authority to create a federal law criminalizing conduct from a domestic dispute involving wholly local conduct. .

Many view it as granting the federal government nearcarte blanche authority to make and implement treaties. The Federalist No. 2013). It can exercise authority over no subjects, except those which have been delegated to it. The President should not be able to make any treaty and Congress should not be able to implement any treaty in a way that displaces the sovereignty reserved to the states or to the people. 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. 2012), cert. .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. at 1882 (alteration in original) (quoting U.S. Const. So they created three branches of government--the legislative (Congress), executive (President), and judicial (Supreme Court). 106. And Congress may have had Commerce Clause authority to implement the Treaty legislatively, at least insofar as the Treaty covered migratory birds moving interstate or between countries. 2, 1992). Assume arguendo that the Migratory Bird Treaty in Missouri v. Holland and the Chemical Weapons Convention in Bond were actually self-executing treaties. 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. Having established the proper framework and doctrines for considering challenges to presidential and congressional treaty powers, we can return to how the Supreme Court should resolve Bond v. United 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. 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. HELP! granted, 133 S. Ct. 978 (2013). 174. 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. 39 (James Madison), supra note 34, at 242. is one of limited powers. 662, 736 (1836). 123. New York v. United States held that the federal government cannot commandeer state governments into passing or enforcing a federal regulatory program.126 New York rightly explained: [J]ust as a cup may be half empty or half full, it makes no difference whether one views the question at issue in these cases as one of ascertaining the limits of the power delegated to the Federal Government under the affirmative provisions of the Constitution or one of discerning the core of sovereignty retained by the States under the Tenth Amendment. At its core, the validity of Justice Holmess assertion in Missouri v. Holland, that Congress has plenary power to implement any treaty, turns on whether the federal government is one of limited, enumerated powers. Id. The treaty was made [and] the statute enacted . 662, 736 (1836)).)) 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. This view may track similar structural concerns as a Tenth Amendment reserved state sovereignty limit. 180. How does approving treaties balance power in the government quizlet? Luckily, the Roberts Court has signaled that it will recognize the limits on the federal governments treaty power. and those arising from the nature of the government itself, and of that of the States.121 The recognition of structural limitations on the treaty power is not just a nineteenth-century concept. The President thus may have had power to make the Chemical Weapons Convention, but Congress almost certainly did not have the power to enact a statute criminalizing Bonds wholly local conduct pertaining to a domestic dispute. The Senates veto over the Presidents power to make treaties shows that the treaty power was so substantial that it required further dilution among the branches. 45 (James Madison), supra note 34, at 289. 166. 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. Which branch has the power to approve treaties? 135. 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. United States v. Morrison, 529 U.S. 598 (2000). 169. 138. 178. 34. And it needed to be precisely calibrated because treaties would constitute the supreme law of the land in the United States.45 By dividing the treaty power first by reserving unenumerated powers to the states, and then by housing the federal treaty power in the executive branch with a Senate veto the Framers sought to check the use of this significant lawmaking tool. 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. Holden v. Joy, 84 U.S. (17 Wall.) 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. Who has the power to ratify treaties in the United States? 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. (June 22, 2012), http://articles.washingtonpost.com/2012-06-22/opinions/35461763_1_royalty-payments-reagan-adviser-sea-treaty. 2701 (West 2000 & Supp. 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. But the governments power emanates from the sovereign will of the people. 175. 539, 619 (1842)). 64 (John Jay), supra note 34, at 388. Louis Henkin, Foreign Affairs and the US Constitution 190 (2d ed. We accept the proposition that a fully informed eighteenth-century audience would have been startled to discover that the federal government had no power to cede territory, even as part of a peace settlement. (footnote omitted)). . 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. 121. They separated the legislative, executive, and judicial powers into three distinct branches of a federal government.31 And they limited the powers possessed by the federal government by explicitly enumerating its powers while reserving unenumerated powers, like the general police power, to the states.32, Of particular relevance to this Essay, the Framers similarly carved up the power to make treaties. Marbury v. Madison, 5 U.S. (1 Cranch) 137 (1803). 65. 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. 27. 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. 88. 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. 134. v. Sebelius, 132 S. Ct. 2566 (2012). More fundamentally, a non-self-executing treaty might never violate the Tenth Amendment or infringe on state sovereignty. That is precisely why the Tenth Amendment and the Constitutions structure place limits on the Presidents power to make treaties. See id. Executive Powers Impeach and try federal officers. The Federalist No. 40. . (During wartime, however, the President has the power to cede state territory by refusing to defend it (or by defending it and losing). XYZ Affair United States v.

Whiskey Rebellion Legislative Check How does it balance power in the government? 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. granted, 133 S. Ct. 978 (2013). !PLEASE HELP! The people, however, did not give the federal government all powers to act in the public interest; they gave the federal government only enumerated powers. If no enumerated power justifies the creation or implementation of a treaty, the federal government is acting beyond its delegated authority, thus violating the sovereignty of the states and the people.

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. !PLEASE HELP!!! 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. Holland, 252 U.S. at 43334 (The only question is whether [the Migratory Bird Treaty Act] is forbidden by some invisible radiation from the general terms of the Tenth Amendment.). 14. See Curtiss-Wright, 299 U.S. at 315 (noting the fundamental differences between the powers of the federal government in respect of foreign or external affairs and those in respect of domestic or internal affairs). 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. Bus. 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. The president has the sole power to negotiate treaties. 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. 173. 124.

And even if a treaty fell within an enumerated power, the federal government would still act unconstitutionally if an independent provision of the Constitution, such as the Bill of Rights, affirmatively denied the authority. The previous part dealt with limits on the Presidents Treaty Clause power to create a treaty in the first place. . 4. 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. Consequently, the Supreme Court should reverse Bonds conviction. 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. 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. Those issues will now be considered in turn. 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. 118.

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. 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.

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 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. 18 Pa. Cons. 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. 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. Rosenkranz, supra note 13, at 1878; see id. As Madison famously noted: If men were angels, no government would be necessary.47 This same concern was present in creating the treaty power. Consequently, when the federal government acts to create or implement a treaty, the Constitution requires that it do so pursuant to an enumerated power. United States v. Darby, 312 U.S. 100, 124 (1941). As Thomas Jefferson explained, the treaty power must have meant to except . 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.
