They do not exercise supremacy over our Constitution or our national security.
"A treaty cannot be made which alters the Constitution of the country, or which infringes any express exceptions to the power of the Constitution..." -- Alexander Hamilton
"I do not conceive that power is given to the President and the Senate to dismember the empire, or to alienate any great, essential right. I do not think the whole legislative authority to have this power." -- James Madison
"I say the same as to the opinion of those who consider the grant of the treaty-making power as boundless. If it is, then we have no Constitution." -- Thomas Jefferson
