Like I wrote, we can agree to disagree. There is nothing in the US Constitution that states treaties supersede the Constitution itself.

For anyone else that’s lurking...

You can be a conspiracy theorist and believe Hamilton intentionally created a back door into amending the US Constitution or you can believe the plain meaning of the Constitution as written.

Had you read the second article, it would have explained for you that the language of the Supremacy Clause does NOT have a "plain meaning." In the Federal Convention, Hamilton proposed what was a effectively an unlimited government with a supreme executive branch having a President for life. And here you sit, calling me a conspiracy theorist. In Federalist 75 Hamilton states flatly the necessity for treaties to be conducted in SECRET. and you call me a conspiracy "theorist"? What is the Supreme Law of the Land drafted in secret as ratified by a two thirds of a minimum quorum if not conspiratorial?

No, you are simply ignorant and delusional.

Oh, and one other thing while you are insisting upon being so deliberately obtuse:

The Endangered Species Act (you know, the subject of this thread), Title 16, Section 1531 of the United States Code does not cite the Constitution for its source of unconstitutional authority; it cites a list of treaties. Why have a section detailing legislative authority outside the Constitution if the legislation at issue was otherwise constitutional? Hmmm?
