Blair/Schwarzenegger Agreement on Climate Change

[William Funk]

It was Article I, Section 10, cl. 3, that I was really asking about.  I know
that for interstate compacts there is a body of law that allows various
interstate agreements without the consent of Congress, but I don't know if
that applies to agreements "with a foreign power", and I was hoping someone
here might know.

    Wouldn't that be a state "enter[ing] into an[] agreement ... with
another state," which under article I, section 10 would require consent of
Congress?  Or has "agreement ... with another state" been read in a way that
excludes agreement to cooperate on studies?

I have been off the list for a while.  Has there been any discussion of the
constitutionality of Arnie and Tony signing a formal agreement to cooperate
on climate change studies?
