Congress must pass a law before the U.S. accepts new UNESCO obligations. Otherwise, the President or anyone else can't approve such a constitutional amendment.

Unless Congress passes a law authorizing it, neither the President nor any other person or agency may approve, on the United States' behalf, an amendment under Article XIII of the Organization's constitution that would create a new obligation for the United States.
