Your contention being that the aforementioned act empowers the President and his administration to work with Canada and Mexico to issue these North American biometric passes?

I haven't read the text of the statute, but yes, in the sense that biometric passports are not the "creation" of the SPP, but rather of the Act.

If the Act is the legislative authorization of a biometric identification system, then in my opinion it's pretty tough to argue that the executive cannot negotiate with other countries to implement them, on the basis that doing so is somehow unconstitutional.
