Let’s imagine it the other way around. Suppose I were to tell you that you must accept the decisions of the Organization of American States as superior to the laws of your country. Suppose I were to add that you should acknowledge a Pan-American Parliament based in, say, Caracas, and having precedence over Congress. For good measure, let’s throw in a Central Bank in Buenos Aires that would administer your new currency, the Pan-American Peso.

How would you respond? I’m guessing that it would be something along the lines of: “Buzz off!” You might be tempted to use a stronger word than “buzz.” You might add that the days when Americans took instructions from overseas came to an end after Yorktown.
