Quote
“By the general power to make treaties, the Constitution must have intended to comprehend only those objects which are usually regulated by treaty, and cannot be otherwise regulated. It must have meant to except out of those the rights reserved to the states; for surely the President and Senate cannot do by treaty what the whole government is interdicted from doing in any way.”
(
Thomas Jefferson
,
A Manual of Parliamentary Practice
, p. 110. 1873.)
