Treaties alone cannot do a thing. I really don't care how many are signed and then ratified by a 2/3 vote of the Senate.

Unless and until actual laws are legislated, a treaty by itself is nothing more than words on a piece of paper... Put another way, unless the Congress enacts (and a president signs) enabling legislation, treaties are worthless.
