Since the Constitution gives the President and Congress the authority to make and ratify agreements, and taxes and fines are not specifically excluded from such authority

So you just admitted you were wrong. That privilege does not extend to any unelected tribunal of foreign citizens.

In which case, the courts will strike down any such provision, again reflecting that our Constitution still remains the supreme law of the land, notwithstanding your concerns.
