I don't believe it has been interpreted that way. Certainly federal statues 
are secondary to the constitution in practice, and I believe the question of 
treaties is still somewhat open to argument. There are regularly federal 
statues struck down as unconstitutional, and I think the argument is that 
since the president can't make a treaty without the congress approving it 
later, it's also subject to constitutional limits.
