I think you had better read the Constitution. Article 2, Section 2, Clause 2 reads "He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur;"APynckel wrote:a) You cannot make something law inside this country, ESPECIALLY ONE THAT INFRINGES THE CONSTITUTION, without both houses of congress voting on it.
So, when it comes to treaties, the House is not involved at all. All it takes is for the Senate to approve the treaty by a two thirds majority, and the President to sign the treaty, and it becomes binding on the US. As to whether or not a treaty can abrogate the Constitution, it cannot, but that wouldn't stop our politicians from approving it anyway or the Executive branch from enforcing its provisions, Constitution notwithstanding.
In Article 6, Clause 2, those treaties become the supreme law of the land. "This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding."
