According to Article II Section 2 of the Constitution, the Presidence, which advice and consent of the senate, can "make treaties." The treaty power, as it is known in constitutional law circles, is fairly broad and trumps Federal Law (but not Constitutional Law). Our involvement with the UN is created by treaty (and we had a hand in its creation and reserved ourselves a primo spot on the security council with Veto power, which many other nations don't have). As such, as long as the involvement with the UN doesn't breach the treaty with the UN or breach the constitution, there is no problem.

I think that those that bash the UN fail to realize that we need a world organization and no one will agree 100% with everything the UN does. There is no better solution and the UN is only as strong as it's members. You can't blame the UN for the acts of a few members states. It's like blaming the Marines and the US military for the acts of a few. 45,ohio

It's based on a Senate approved treaty, that makes it perfectly in line with the Constitution. I fail to see anything else that makes it unconstitutional.
