In a recent issue of the Journal , one finds a largely theoretical discussion of a question that potentially implicates quite serious legal policies and consequences: “May the President violate customary international law?” Despite professorial conjecture, the answer to such a question, which can be documented in actual trends in legal decision, emphatically has been no (i.e., the President is bound by and may not lawfully violate international law)
