"The Senate votes on proposals to amend the Constitution showed very clearly that a majority of the Senate is strongly opposed to tampering with the treaty-making powers In the Constitution," Wiley said. He added that the vote on final passage was concerned almost entirely with International agreements. These pacts are not submitted to Congress for approval. Treaties, on the other hand require a two-thirds vote of the Senate.

"When finally voted upon," said Wiley," the proposal, as embodied In the George amendment, was a very different thing from the Bricker amendment, which had been emasculated before the Senate ever reached a vote on final passage. "Indeed, the only thing that remained of the Bricker amendment was the first section which merely restated what the Supreme Court has always held to be existing law namely, that a treaty cannot override the Constitution." He said, that the Bricker ament-ment, as originally drafted, "was never able to muster even a simple majority vote in the Senate, much less two-thirds."
