Sounded it like it to me

[Fledermaus]

I found this on the Senate website: It looks like the President has the power!!

Treaty Termination


The Constitution is silent about how treaties might be terminated. The breaking off of two treaties during the Jimmy Carter administration stirred controversy. In 1978, the president terminated the U.S. defense treaty with Taiwan, in order to facilitate the establishment of diplomatic relations with the People's Republic of China. Also in 1978, the new Panama Canal treaties replaced three previous treaties with Panama. In one case, the president acted unilaterally; in the second, he terminated treaties in accordance with actions taken by Congress. But clearly it seems that the right to terminate belongs to the executive, the sole branch of government that communicates with foreign governments. Only once has Congress terminated a treaty by a joint resolution; that was a mutual defense treaty with France, from which, in 1798, Congress declared the United States "freed and exonerated." In that case, breaking the treaty almost amounted to an act of war; indeed, two days later Congress authorized hostilities against France, which were only narrowly averted.

[Right_in_Virginia]

Edwards is not doing well at all.

[Timeout]

They all said they would allow Hatian refugees to land in Florida.

Buh-bye, Sunshine State.

Did Kerry just accuse the Bush administration of theological hatred?

Thats nothing,earlier Long John stated the the President did not need Congress' approval to go to war and cited Clintons Kosovo conflicts as proof.

[sonofatpatcher2]

Gad! John eFing just answer with one word: No.

Hell is freezing over...

Whoa, he is on a roll again...

[Dolphy]

I suppose we will have to add Voodoo in diversity training then if Kerry is elected.

[Monty22]

Now they're arguing over how to best socialize medicine.

[Mo1]

Doesn't sound like it is an easy thing to do

[Right_in_Virginia]

I wish someone would define "wealthy" and "middle class".

[Feiny]

I wish King would ask Edwards if he knew those in POVERTY have cable tv, cars, VCR's, and live far better than the middle class in most other countries.

[sinkspur]

Edwards is not doing well at all.

None of them are doing well, IMO.

This is the biggest bullshit session I've ever seen. Nothing but throwing money at stuff, trashing Bush, and lying.

[Mo1]

I wish someone would define "wealthy" and "middle class".

According to Edwards .. anyone making $200,000 and over are rich

[cyncooper]

As I reported already on the thread, my ten year old accurately assessed him as "not looking sure of himself".

Spot on.

He looked very good in the Milwaukee debate. Tonight he looks weak.

[Right_in_Virginia]

Kerry's not even making sense vis-a-vis the tax code.

[jwalsh07]

Turning into a classic liberal bidding war.

I'll give everybody health care.

I'll give everybody health care and a house.

I'll give everybody health care, a house and a new Cadillac every other year.

I'll call ya.

[sonofatpatcher2]

If I understand John Efing's Tax Plan, if you make money, the government gets it.

[Monty22]

did king just bash socialism!?!?

[jwalsh07]

Predatory Capitalism rant from the House Commie.
