A look at the constitutionality NAFTA:
“[M]y proposition is that the United States-Canada dispute resolution provisions permit persons who are not officers of the United States, and who are not appointed under the Appointments Clause, to overrule federal officials who are officers of the United States … on the grounds that the officials did not follow United States law…. Not only does that scheme violate principles of representative government and democracy, but it also violates the Appointments Clause.”
