It doesnt give the President the authority to "clarifty" treaties.

I agree. The executive branch has no authority (shouldn't now) to interpret the law. That's for the judicial system to deliberate. I remember there being a reason for keeping the executive, judicial, and legeslative branches separate.
Also, I think the president being able to chose chief justices is bullshit.
