But he's wrong. For example, the Constitution does not empower Congress to ratify treaties. The president ratifies treaties (as well as makes them); "Congress" has no role at all

Regarding the Executive Branch, the Constitution says "He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur"

FYI, the Senate is part of our Congress.

That line about the ratification jumped out at me too. The Congress has no role in negotiating treaties, but as representatives of the States, the Senate must approve the result...or not.
