Statutes generally take precedence over case law, meaning that laws passed by a legislative body take priority over judicial decisions made by judges in previous cases. Neither choice A nor B is correct - treaties and conventions are often given priority over statutes, and the President does not have unlimited authority to end treaties. Choice E is partially correct in that statutes take precedence over case law, but is incorrect in claiming that the President can unilaterally terminate treaties.
