I doubt it. Treaties require a Senate vote.

You mean like GATT and NAFTA?

Those were executive agreements, while treaties require a 2/3rds vote of the seante, EA's are ratified by majority votes of both houses of Congress.

The courts treat them as pretty much the same thing. I don't think there has been a treaty or EA ratified concerning this issue, but I could be wrong.
