Let me try this again but with relevance to your question.
What would suffice is something stating that the legal agreement of the treaty is now void. Beyond that something that indicates the legal stance of congress and the Constitution that states that there is no separation of church and state implied or intended.
Regardless of what people say in trying to marginalize the treaty it was a legal document none the less. Avalon Project - The Barbary Treaties 1786-1816 - Treaty of Peace and Friendship, Signed at Tripoli November 4, 1796
For the Americans, the terms of the treaty were quickly rendered moot. Citing late payments of tribute, the Pasha of Tripoli, in 1801, declared war on the United States. The United States fought back this time, and sent the Navy and Marines to Tripoli (to the famed "shores of Tripoli"), where the Pasha's forces were defeated. A new treaty, finalized in 1805, included a payment of ransom for U.S. prisoners, but no further payment of tribute. - Index Page - The U.S. Constitution Online - USConstitution.net
The Pasha of Tripoli actually declared war on the US in 1801..........five years after the drafting of the treaty you cited. I would call this all the evidence needed to render the original treaty invalid......wouldn't you? :shrug:
