submitted 70 years ago by ch. 1041 to r/title-10-ARMED-FORCES · 64 words · no verdicts yet
If the United States signs a treaty limiting naval armament, the President can suspend some already-authorized naval construction. The suspension must be enough to bring United States naval vessels within the agreed limits, but it does not apply to vessels already under construction.
If the United States is a signatory to a treaty for the limitation of naval armament, the President may suspend as much of the authorized naval construction as is necessary to bring United States naval vessels within the agreed limits. The suspension does not apply to vessels that are under construction when the suspension is made.
