There are several treaties with Canada ending the War of 1812. They include things like limits on the size of weapons on naval vessels that can be on the Great Lakes. I suspect that it will also require Congress to reauthorize the Great Lakes Compact. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Lakes_Compact They have to be authorized by Congress: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstate_compact
