Actually, if your "there is no treaty" remark refers to the annexation of Hawaii by the United States, it is CORRECT to say there is no treaty because the United States Senate never ratified the proposed treaty of annexation by the required 2/3 majority. There is a joint resolution of Congress that was adopted after the Senate failed to ratify the proposed treaty, and for more than a century that joint resolution has been recognized as having effected the annexation of Hawaii to the United States. But it is still true that THERE IS NO TREATY.
