My concern is that a president will enter into a treaty, and 2/3 of the Senate will ratify it, an it will erode our constitutional rights.


It would also need 2/3rds of the states to approve. I don't see that happening.

States don't get to vote on treaties.

Are treaties voted upon by the several States? I thought that applied only to ratification of Constitutional amendments.
