Facts
In 1994, the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) took effect as a congressional-executive agreement in the United States (defendant). Thereafter, numerous labor organizations and nongovernmental organizations (plaintiffs), including Made in the U.S.A. Foundation (plaintiff), challenged the United States’ execution of NAFTA as a congressional-executive agreement, arguing that the execution violated the Article II constitutional treaty-making requirement of ratification by two-thirds of the Senate. The district court granted summary judgment to the United States. The plaintiffs appealed.
