Panama Canal treaties spark constitutional clash over House consent
Newsweek flags a shift in canal treaty support while constitutional scholars warn the House must authorize spending and the transfer of US territory. The Council for Inter-American Security argues treaty transfer without House approval would be unconstitutional, citing Article IV. The fight centers on billions in canal property and whether the president can dispose of national territory without Congress. Rep. Murphy seeks formal House consent, while Sen. Dole aims to attach understanding to the treaties in the Senate. A constitutional crisis looms if the Carter administration presses ahead without House permission.
