The UN and Sovereignty

[Kamala Trump]

but back to treaties, this seems odd

Status as Law


By virtue of the Constitution's supremacy clause (Article VI, clause 2) a treaty that is concluded compatibly with applicable constitutional requirements may have status as the "supreme law of the land," along with federal statutes and the Constitution itself. A treaty does not become effective as U.S. domestic law automatically, however, upon its entry into force on the international level. Instead, this occurs only where the instrument is "self-executing" and operates without any necessity for implementing legislation.

We should repeal the 17th.

I agree.

It would be a good safety, but they cannot anyway under current court rulings. The Bricker Amendment would be better.

I agree. However, reiterating and reinforcing is never a bad idea.

I think you're wrong. I think they are obligated to enforce federal law.

Nope.

 

[Kamala Trump]

Nope.

I believe they are. Technically. They may ignore some of it.
