well, the great thing about a not-a-treaty implemented by fiat by one administration without ratification by Congress is that the NEXT administration can abrogate the not-a-treaty without consulting Congress ... see how that works Obama?

Well, I voted for Trump. He seems to respect the Constitution, the written laws, and the will of the people. We have a republic, if we can keep it.

We left the Constitution behind on Usurpation Day, January 20, 2009

Barack Obama is NOT a natural born citizen and was never Constitutionally eligible to be President.

Kerry recalled how "I sat there leading the charge on the Disabilities Treaty which fell to, basically, ideology and politics."

Ignoring the fact that the Disabilities Treaty itself was, basically, ideology and politics. It was an attempt to permanently impose on the United States what should be the concern of domestic legislation. It has nothing to do with the relations between countries.

Translation - us Dems have tried to do a lot of seriously bad deals and we could never get enough folks to agree to screw our own people that bad so we had to take other, illegal routes to do our damage....

“This is important to remember. The only reason President Trump could terminate the Iran “deal” today is because Hussein Obama usurped the Treaty Clause of the US Constitution and used his “pen and phone”. “


It’s also important that we use this opportunity to put the world on notice - when a US president usurps the Treaty Clause of the Constitution to get a “deal” done, then that deal is not really with the US, but just with that president for the duration of his term.

Hence, anytime someone says Trump pulled the US out of (Iran Deal, Paris Climate Accord, etc), the answer should be - no, the US did not have such a deal - that was only a deal with the prior administration, which opted to NOT commit the US to the deal, as The Constitution would require.

So basically, Obama opted to be like a kid building sand castles on the beach during low tide, and then crying to Mommy when the tide came in an washed it away.

Same thing applies to all the crap like Obamacare that got done through reconciliation or all the crap that got done through executive orders ... more examples of a sand castle legacy that can and should be easily washed away. Of course we still have to deal with some lower court judges that want to protect some of those sand castles by denying Trump the ability to simply rescind some executive actions. But I’m confident the SCOTUS will take care of that soon.

Thank God we have Trump in office now to clean up this mess.
