I bet they already have some liberal islam appeasing pacifist they plan to place in there. Followed shortly by the UN "Small Arms" treaty and/or Kyoto. I know the Senate has the final say on approving treaties but how are they introduced to the floor for debate? Since the executive branch controls foreign policy does the President have control of which treaties are considered?

The VP can only break the tie if the nomination gets to the floor. Chafee's no vote will prevent Bolton from getting out of committee.

Send a demolition crew to level the UN building and clear the lot. That property is too valuable to be occupied by a world class, sh*t house.

Checking around the web, a few possible tactics were mentioned.
---Bolton could be named to another U.N. post[concurrently] in order to ensure that he gets a salary, the aide said.
---John Bolton might agree to serve as the uncompensated Ambassador to the UN in a second recess appointment, or might agree to serve as a recess appointed political deputy at the UN and made "acting Ambassador and Chief of Mission" at a pay cut.
--- even if they successfully kill the Bolton confirmation, he can be recess appointed AND receive a salary if he is appointed to another Exec branch job concurrently that does not require Senate approval. Not ideal, but a means to an end.--Freeper mwll

Where there's a political will, a way will be found.
