I see what you mean. What you saw was not what I saw and tried to link to. I'll see what the deal is. My apologies.

Couldn't find the story on the linked page. Maybe I'm not looking close enough!

edit: I should have refreshed the page before I posted... :tiphat:

would enable the federal government to circumvent limits on the scope of its power by paying off a foreign power (e.g. – a weak client state dependent on US aid) to sign a treaty covering the subject

The principle is rather simple. Such a treaty would be an ultra vires act, one that is beyond the authority of the office.

It would be void ab initio, from the outset.

The problem is that the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court must have received the low F in Constitutional Law if one is to judge him by his opinion on Obamacare and there are too many in Congress for whom their swearing in is a mere photo op rather than the undertaking of a solemn oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America against all enemies foreign and domestic.
