Yes. A president has executive privilege. That gives allows a president to use the military when ever the president deems it is necessary.
Constitution:
"The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States; he may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any subject relating to the Duties of their respective "

International treaties have MORE authority than the Constitution.
So, NO, the President can't override a treaty.
That's why Native American Tribal Laws can violate the Constitution; the Constitution has no authority on Tribal lands.
That's why we never signed the "International Rights of the Child" UN Resolution. The rights it gave "children" would have superseded their parents rights under the Constitution.

No it doesn't!
"This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding." US Constitution.
Regarding president:
"He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; He has the power to make Treaties, but he needs 2/3 vote of the Senate to pass one. He also needs 2/3 of the Senate to change one...and the parties!
He can't just pick and choose which ones he will follow and ones he won't. He is SWORN to uphold the Constitution and treaties. The Constitution says it is the Supreme law of the land!!
"and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land" US Constitution

The Constitution says nothing about foreign treaties except who in our government is authorized to form those treaties.
/EDIT: What the hell? Who gave me a thumbs down? You're an idiot. Try reading the Constitution (you to letfreedomring):

The Constitution states nothing about international treaties, at least not to my knowledge.

No, This is why so many people want him impeached.
This is a illegal invasion.
I am still shocked that most people do not even know that this was an invasion and goes against the Constitution.
I suppose his supporters think we should just do away with the Constitution if they support breaking it as many times as this administration has.
