This sort of thing is entirely possible within any administration. All it means is that certain things will be done by order of the President and within the power of that office.

So what it’s saying is that we’ll abide by a treaty — in the interim (i.e., before the expiration date and through the time that it takes the Senate to approve such a treaty).

Now, whatever the President does himself is *not* a treaty, but just Presidential action. And thus, it does not last beyond his administration. So, if this doesn’t get ratified, it simply is not a treaty and it will not be abided by, with any future administration. But, if it is ratified by the Senate, then future Presidents will abide by it.

This is not binding the U.S. to any sort of a treaty, as the President cannot do that on his own.

“This sort of thing is entirely possible within any administration.”

So the idea of a private little treaty to reduce our national security is kinda like....

— firing a sitting CEO and select dirctors
— channeling money to his personal outreach(ACORN)
— extorting cooperation from top finanacial instituions
— denying access to all white house and personal records
— sponsoring the “disaster du jour” to get money/taxes
— NEVER proving he is elligible for office

OK - I get ya Star
The ends justifies the means right?
I just kinda wonder what the senate is gonna think
when BO cuts off their nuts. Same thing. Just a
different visual.

OThuga . . . as many Presidents of the past . . .

will achieve whatever thuggary and tyranny he can get away with.

The law . . . is whatever the oligarchy decides it is and makes effectively stick . . . as they have been demonstrating for decades.
