Summary:

Examines constitutional issues surrounding applicability of the Chemical Weapons Convention Implementation Act, enacted to implement the Convention on Chemical Weapons, to the Supreme Court case of Bond volume U.S. , in which the petitioner argues that use of the Federal implementing statute in a "run of the mill" assault case exceeds the legislative power of Congress under the Necessary and Proper Clause of the Constitution.
