Nothing new. There is a reason for the 2/3rd requirement. League of Nations anyone?
President Zer0 usurped the Constitution at every opportunity. For a Constitutional Law “Professor” he knows zip, zero, nada. I pity the students in his Con Law One class. They know nothing and are a danger to clients needing that type of law.
The Europeans should take note. They signed on to what is an illegal American deal.
The believed the magic negro and his traitorous minion....... big mistake
No, Kerry, it’s not that the Senate won’t ratify treaties, it’s that they won’t ratify the carp State tries to pass off as treaties in the interest of OUR country.
“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”. “
Yes and no. Obama wasn’t going to get 67 votes for the deal, which is why he didn’t try...so if the Constitution had been followed, the deal would have landed on the ash heap of the Senate, which is EXACTLY where it belonged.
As to the other treaties, maybe, just maybe, they were PURE CRAP for the United States, which was why they couldn’t get 67 votes. Negotiate a decent treaty...on anything, and the votes will be there. Negotiate a crap deal, then sorry, no 67 votes.
Rule of Law
Rule of Men
Republic or Oligarchy
Gotta choose.
The Obama giveaway to Iran was not a Treaty.
It was a sweetheart deal from one muslim to another to screw America and advance Iranian power and worldwide Islam.
When you elect someone with primary allegiance to a foreign dogma and holds the US Constitution in contempt this is what you get.
No president in modern times has had a predecessor hand him such a big pile of crap and corruption to clean up as has President Trump.
Karma is a Hillary, ain’t it?
Patriots are reminded that it can be argued that ordinary voters “own(ed)” both the corrupt Senate, and the now dead Iran “deal,” through the ill-conceived 17th Amendment (17A).
We really need to get rid of 17A.
The 16th Amendment can disappear too.
Trump would have no problem getting 2/3 for a treaty with Norklandia, provided it’s even close to reasonable.
And that’s the route he SHOULD take.
I believe he will.
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?
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.
No more bullsh*t from/about obama, That awful era is over.
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.
“And it’s become impossible to, you know, schedule. “
Wow.
Just fucking wow.
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.
