That's true. However, treaties cannot over-ride the constitution. The laws based on legally-passed treaties must be in pursuance to the constitution. That is, must be in agreement. Any law passed by congress, including any executive agreement, etc., passed by the president, must be in pursuance to the constitution.

I didn't realize the article was that old or I wouldn't have posted it.
