It doesn't even require that. The Berne Convention is binding on the US only because the US Congress says it is. We can remove ourselves from it just as easily as we joined it-although removing ourselves might be more expensive (in terms of international relations at least).
Don't take this as advocating that the US 'go it alone' but do realize that international treaties aren't actually enforceable yet.
