“French president Francois Hollande stated that Trump has no option.”
Also, it should be noted that the French “have another option,” coming up, electing a new president, and it’s not going to be him. It is going to be interesting to see which countries in Europe opt for conservative governments in the coming months. One thing is certain, if the Krauts re-elect Merkel, Germany is done as a country.
Number 1: It is illegal. It was never ratified by the Senate as required by the Constitution.
The deal was never sent to the Senate for advise and consent as is required for treaties negotiated with foreign powers under Article II section 2
What about Marine Le Pen?
........................................................
Marine Le Pen is the head of the Front National. I said Fillon or the Front National would be better bedfellows to the US.
Let’s say that the treaty makes it to the senate and they actually vote to approve the treaty (a possibility - given some of the weak-kneed GOPe type).
Would the president still have “veto” authority?
So you are saying that Agenda 21 and the Small Arms Treaties are “In Effect?” Don’t think so.
Would the president still have “veto” authority?
...............................................
Of course.
There would not be a veto, because he already approved it by presenting it to the Senate.
The Senate does not ratify treaties—the Senate approves or rejects a resolution of ratification. If the resolution passes, then ratification takes place when the instruments of ratification are formally exchanged between the United States and the foreign power(s).

Didn’t the senate reject the “Paris deal” by an overwhelming margin, causing Obama to “agree” to it, with no force of law?

“Let’s say that the treaty makes it to the senate and they actually vote to approve the treaty (a possibility - given some of the weak-kneed GOPe type).

Huh? I don’t think it works that way. The President sends treaties to the Senate for them to approve, with the idea that if they do, that’s what the President wanted them to do. So I don’t think that the President has to power to veto their actions as they are not making law, they are following their Constitutional Duty to “Advise and Consent!” If the President didn’t want the treaty approved, he would not have sent it to them in the first place.
You’re right. I slipped up there. Too much gobbler I suppose. :>)
