Mr. Bolton and Mr. Yoo are also on weak ground in suggesting that Congress has used its Article I authority only in the field of international trade. Both houses have acted under Article I to approve key national security accords, like the SALT agreement with the Russians or the recent United States-India nuclear agreement.
