President Obama is prepared to enter into the Paris climate accord as early as this week even though Republicans have insisted that the pact must be ratified by the Senate, according to a report out of China. The South China Morning Post reported that Mr. Obama and Chinese President Xi Jinping are “set to jointly announce their ratification” of the ambitious international climate-change pact on Friday, two days before the start of the 11th G-20 Summit in Hangzhou, Zhejiang...
Myron Ebell, director of the free-market Competitive Enterprise Institute’s Center for Energy and Environment, described the report as “curious because ratifying treaties in the United States requires a two-thirds vote of the Senate.”...
Sen. James Inhofe, chairman of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, has warned other nations that without Senate approval, the agreement will “soon become another stack of empty promises on global warming.” I want to make sure international participants are warned now that the president’s commitment lacks the support of his own government and will fail,” Mr. Inhofe said in an April 12 statement...
“One can only speculate how the administration plans to ratify the agreement without approval of the Senate,” the Science and Environmental Policy Project said in a Sunday statement. “But given the disregard the administration has demonstrated toward Congress and the Constitution, such speculation is fitting.”

Laws are for the serfs, it’s good to be the King.
Damned Kenyan dictator!
New York Times Headline - January 21, 2017:
SPITEFUL TRUMP OVERTURNS OBAMA HUMANITARIAN TREATY
Millions expected to die.
Women and children hit hardest.
Democrats threaten impeachment!
Obama can sign anything he pleases. It’s not legally binding in the United States until the Senate ratifies it.
How can a President ratify a treaty without the approval of Congress?
“I’m wondering if Trump is going to be able to get anything done at all in his first 6 months, other then cleaning up Obama’s messes”
He’s going to have to run the country from Trump Tower for several months while the White Hut is fumigated, disinfected, the matresses in the living quarters burned, and all the $hit these turds left behind disposed of. Ditto for wherever that little ferret press secretary hung out.
Rail, tar, and feather futures should be skyrocketing!
I think the Canadians have already started piping over to BC and selling oil sands oil to China
My concern is that he’s gonna fund the initiatives of the accord.
He seems to be able to spend money without congressional approval.
Buy futures in tar and feathers now!
We don’t need no stinking Congress or Courts. . .we have a Royal Presidency. . . .
Who can blame them ?
I’m almost more disgusted that this newspaper just writes that headline without even a hint that the writer winced at all.
The congress is full of eunuchs, capons and geldings. Are they in their safe space whimpering and shaking?
Then Obama will throw a Ton of money into it on unmarked planes before he leaves
What will it take for Congress to finally draw up the Articles of Impeachment?A Republican President.
Obama’s attitude and actions are just like so many other Blacks: laws, rules, the Constitution don’t apply to us, they are just White man’s laws. That has been a prevalent attitude for a long time, but under Obama, the “First Racist” it seems to have become more ingrained in Blacks.
You nailed it!
