Dakine,
..."The Joint Resolution was merely a bill, that is, an act of Congress. It was not a treaty. Yet, for a century the United States has officially claimed that it is this instrument, an act of Congress, by which the United States acquired the Hawaiian Islands."...
LOL - Seriously?
So by this account because All taxes must rise from the floor of the House... Obama Care is invalid as it rose from the floor of the Senate. That argument and a block of ice will get you a puddle of water. Inconsistencies in how Congress and the Executive branch operate to that of the Constitution occur all the time.
Furthermore unlike Alaska, Texas etc. Hawaii was not a separate remote area owned by another Nation, Hawaii was the area in question. Hawaii was the nation itself and ceded itself to the United States, the acceptance of the cede was in the form of the Newlands Resolution. There was no treaty to honor between two separate lands, Hawaii gave itself to the USA and in so much only existed as an interim management and the USA finally accepted the cede through the Newlands resolution (To whom were they to treaty with?).
The so called treaty was a cede of itself in whole and not in part where a sovereignty was left intact to treaty with.
