The relationship between domestic constitutional law and international law is one of the most complex questions in American public law. The Supremacy Clause makes treaties supreme law, but Bond v. United States confirmed that treaty power cannot circumvent federalism's structural limits. The Alien Tort Statute's extraterritorial reach has been dramatically limited by Kiobel and Jesner. The Constitutional International Law and Treaty Warrior is Volume LXXX of Wayne Richard Evangelista's Constitutional Law Series. Wayne Richard Evangelista covers the full international law constitutional landscape: the Treaty Clause — Senate advice and consent, the two-thirds requirement, and the political question doctrine; self-executing versus non-self-executing treaties; Bond v. United States's limits on treaty power; executive agreements — sole executive agreements, congressional-executive agreements, and their constitutional status; customary international law — the Charming Betsy canon, jus cogens, and the Paquete Habana principle; the Alien Tort Statute — Kiobel's presumption against extraterritoriality, Jesner's exclusion of foreign corporations, and remaining ATS claims; and constitutional dimensions of international human rights enforcement in U.S. courts.
