American Constitution VS United Nation ?

Question

Please, Can you tell me what do you think about the Supremacy Clause ?

Answer 1

One cannot answer this question because the meaning of 'American' isn't clear:

- A person or attribute of South or North America

- A person or attribute of the indigenous peoples of South or North America

- A citizen or attribute of the ’United States of America’: the political correct term is 'US-American'

Which 'Americans' do you mean? From North or South America? And from which country in one of theese 2 continents called 'America'?

'American' for 'US-American' is geographically and politically not correct.

Answer 2

The Supremacy Clause in the Constitution doesn't refer to the UN in any way.

Answer 3

I must agree with the above answers.  I'm always amazed when I read about the constitution.  I think of those brave and forward thinking statesmen who risked their lives and livlihoods for the cause.

Answer 4

The only U.S. law which has any impact at all is the UN Support Act of 1947. It committed the U.S. in principle, to providing troops for UN Peacekeeping missions under Chapter Six of the UN Charter and UN Peace Enforcement missions under Chapter Seven of the UN Charter. We did not meet our obligation for peacekeeping troops until the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. We did provide troops for every Chapter Seven mission however. And we are also obligated to have the Chairman of our Joint Chiefs of Staff serve on the UN Military Committee. However, that assignment has been fulfilled by a much junior officer.

Answer 5

The people above are most likely lying. At best they are all engaging in a basic logical falicy which is assuming ignorance of something is knowledge of its non-existence.

Much of the UN and our relationship with it is unconstitutional. The supremacy clause says the us constitution is the supreme law of the land yet the UN claims to have supremacy over member governments in certian areas. So far the US has largely ignored this or not cooperated except by consent on a case by case basis.

There is also supposed to be a clause forbidding placing us troops under foriegn command, but I couldnt find it.

Answer 6

The American Constitution is supreme over the United Nations because the latter has no jurisdiction over US citizens unlike the Constitution since the UN is not recognized as a world government.
