I was under the impression the Senate has a say in treaties.

His Imperial Majesty Barackula will soon disband that misguided body ...

By sheer coincidence, the BATFE wanted to ban M855/SS109 ammunition.

Coincidence.

Gotta be coincidence ...

“International law,” isn't.

It is merely a very loose collection of expressed hopes. No country has true sovereignty over another in this area of “law.”

US Constitution, powers of the President
Article 2 section 2,
2. He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur;.

Iran has played into the letter writers hands stating that they believe Obama can unilaterally make a binding international treaty for the US.... with the senators who wrote the letter saying “no we have to approve it”.. see above

Here is the pertinent clause (Art II, Section 2, clause 2:

2: He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur;

note the word “present”. That’s how they slide crap through.

This is an indexed Constitution. I love it.

They probably figure Obama has no regard for our constitution anyway, and the people aren’t doing anything about it, so why not? We are being invaded at our borders and Obama is helping the.

What will the people do if Obama did get 2/3 Senate approval to give away ours an Israel’s security?

Well this should get the GOP senators off the hook. Clearly, the people negotiating with President Obama were not aware of the political realities of U.S. treaty law. And they need to be schooled further!
