Congress can't do by treaty anything that's not within their power to do directly. That being said, the New Deal Commerce Clause makes "what they can't do directly" pretty well non existent. To quote Clarence Thomas - "every blade of grass".

It's be entertaining and frightening to watch the SC try to stuff a treaty in the commerce clause.
