Executive agreement? Trump can rescind it the minute he takes office Barky. And it isn’t a treaty no matter what foreign countries think....not without a Senate approval.

Oh, and the world is well aware of the US Senate requirement. A-hole.

Typical Trump will blow it back in their faces with “You didn’t complain when Obama was issuing executive orders.”

Put the abolition of this on the ever-increasing “To DO List” on Donald’s first day in office.

Rather than attempt to unravel all of the “Lyin’ King’s” tangled web, Donald should just employ the “Gordian Knot” Technique.

“We need a military coup. “

The military isn’t trustworthy today. There is not a single General today who I would trust with the reigns of power. At best you could expect the childlike life of a military base for the whole nation.

The president signing an agreement without authority has the same worth as if you or I signed it. Nether you or I have such authority either.

Re: President Trump will ‘unratitfy’ it.

RIGHT! What can be "ratified" by executive order can be unratified by executive order.

If he directs the EPA to issue and enforce regs to fulfill the terms of the agreement, are those regs enfoceable in court?

There's actually nothing to enforce. It's just a blah, blah, blah document....like a pre-marital agreement with mother nature after having 47 trillion kids.

You really have to do a lot of reading to find out that this document is a worthless piece of political cr**.

Senate gives him everything he wants anyway.

The president is just cutting out the empty song and dance.

This is why I hate Republicans! Where are they when you need them? Hiding!

They are laying low because the Senate leaders are actually for this, and they want Bath House to take the heat, not themselves. Its all about fooling the rubes back home.

“executive agreement”

“executive action”

Just more nonsense with no force of law.

El Presidente has all the power he isn’t denied.

Every usurpation and act of tyranny establishes precedent.

We shall elect a despot in November. Perhaps follow-on despots will, like Venezuelan presidents, rely on elections to claim unlimited mandates from the people. So, in despotic nations, elections are pro-forma but necessary courtesies in which the outcome is known, yet the whole process has to have the aura of legitimacy.

If the immensely popular Trump magically loses, we’ll positively know that we’ve crossed the line into banana republic despotism. No rat will subsequently ever lose another “election.”

If it’s an executive agreement then it only applies to the executive who signed it. Let’s assign a squad of Marines to Obuma to be certain he abides to the agreement.

First, assign a shack for Obuma to live in. A 15 watt bulb for light and heat. Two chickens, one for eating, the other for eggs. A bag of seeds to grow beans. An old tire to fashion shoes.

The Democrats will never allow Trump to get away with half of what Obama does. They will spring into action, assisted by their fellow travelers and allies in the media, to block Trump’s every move. They will stop at nothing to stop him.


That's OK.

Trump just needs to publish a change to it by EO.

Then they either have to agree to EO’s or define Trump's actions as illegal.

Put the (D)’s and the MSM in a Catch 22 situation...:^)
