Its hard to imagine that the founders would give Congress the power to declare war, but deny it the ability to end what IT, and NOT the President, started. Not terribly.

I think Beserkers reply is correct. That BY means that the Senate says "psst, by the way, end this war."

1) I have Berz on ignore. Thank you for not quoting him.

2) Give me evidence of the Senate ever ratifying a treaty not submitted to them by the President (or the Secretary of State, etc.) and I'll happily concede the point.
