I've never thought of applying the concept of contracts signed under duress to a treaty; I'm certain it would be a case of first impression.

In what manner do you think the questionable legality of the Mexican War affects the enforceability of the Treaty?

The only means of enforcing a "peace" treaty is through threat of war. Eventually thre will be enough Mexicans in the Southwest that Mexico will be able to annex it and our limp wristed leadership will do nothing about it.
