Book excerpt: Bruce Ackerman and David Golove tell the story of how the Treaty Clause was displaced in the twentieth century by a modern procedure in which the House of Representatives joins the Senate in the process of consideration, and simple majorities in both Houses suffice to commit the nation. This is called the Congressional-Executive Agreement, and is a response to a seachange in public opinion during and after World War II. As American troops swept through Europe, Americans at home were anxiously remembering the Senate's rejection of the Treaty of Versailles at the end of World War I. Would America once again win the war only to lose the peace? Rather than formally amending the Treaty Clause to strip a Senate minority of its veto power, political leaders of the 1940s developed the Congressional-Executive Agreement as an alternative to the classical treaty. But is such a fundamental change valid without a formal constitutional amendment? Challenging readers to rethink their understanding of the nature of constitutional change, this book vindicates the Congressional-Executive Agreement. In doing so, it not only establishes the validity of NAFTA and other recent initiatives like the World Trade Organization, but also establishes the constitutional framework for the democratic control of American diplomacy in the years ahead.
