If Obama signs any such thing, he should be immediately impeached and removed for violating his oath of office.
Didn’t they already agree to it at the G20?
I’d be willing to bet that if the O man is in office for 8 years, we WILL be on a global currency - why do you think he is in office?

The problem we face is that Obama, with or without the Senate, is going to try to abrogate the Constitution under the guise of binding executive agreements or treaties.
Far from being impeached for it, he will be acclaimed as a hero by this Congress.
The Supremacy clause in Article VI has been a problem since it was drafted and ratified. The Bricker Amendment in the 1950s would have clarified the issue (It is revealing that, even then, the Democrats were against it). The proposed amendment was rendered moot by Reid v. Covert (1957) when the USSC ruled that treaties could not overturn Constitutional rights.
It's not at all clear that the 2009 Court would rule the same way. Even if they did, they would be challenged again and again, and Obama will control more votes on the Court as time goes by.
But of course, these maneuverings by the branches of OUR government do not go to the heart of the matter. Most governments possess complete sovereignty, or rule in the name of someone or something that does.
The sovereign in this land, however, is NOT the government at Washington, but rather is the People of the United States. Our sovereignty does not belong to Obama and the Senate - not even temporarily.
It may become necessary for an intervention to occur in the name of the actual sovereign to counter attempts to subvert our sovereign power.
We delegated to Congress the power to coin money, and regulate the value thereof. We may need to take this power back.
Dangerous times ahead.
You don't get it, both parties are controlled by the banksters.
