He expresses the idea as follows: Congress has under the Constitution the right to lay taxes and imposts. as well as to regulate foreign trade. but the President and Senate. if the "treatymaking power "1)0 regarded as absolute. would be able to evade this limitation by adopting treaties which would compel Congress to destroy its whole tariff system. According to the Constitution. Congress has the right to determine questions of naturalization. of patents. and of copyright. Yet. according to the view here contested. the President and Senate. by a treaty. could on these important questions utterly destroy the legislative capacity of the house of Representatives. The Constitution gives Congress the control of the Army.
