Impossible? No. Unconstitutional? Yes. Anyone who read the Confederate constitution would know that.

Jeff Davis didn’t give a damned about the Confederate Constitution. He would sell the whole system down the river to save the Confederacy.

Ah but it wasn't unconstitutional. Treaties have the force of constitutional law.
