The fix is in. The transnationalist will abdicate American sovereignty to the OIC controlled UN. Watch.
Obama to seal US-UN relationship; First US president to chair Security Council... (hat tip Van)
Barack Obama will cement the new co-operative relationship between the US and the United Nations this month when he becomes the first American president to chair its 15-member Security Council.
The topic for the summit-level session of the council on September 24 is nuclear non-proliferation and nuclear disarmament – one of several global challenges that the US now wants to see addressed at a multinational level.
“The council has a very important role to play in preventing the spread and use of nuclear weapons, and it’s the world’s principal body for dealing with global security cooperation,” Susan Rice, US envoy to the UN, said last week.
Her remarks were the latest by the Obama administration to emphasise a shift from the strategy of the previous Bush administration, sometimes criticised by its UN partners for seeking to use the world body principally to endorse its own unilateral policies. The US currently holds the month-long rotating presidency of the Security Council.

FYI ping.
No title of nobility shall be granted by the United States: and no person holding any office of profit or trust under them, shall, without the consent of the Congress, accept of any present, emolument, office, or title, of any kind whatever, from any king, prince, or foreign state.
We can debate if this applies but when I first heard about it, this was the first thing that popped in my head.
The key phrase is “without the consent of Congress”. You think Pelosi, Reid, and the Democrats will refuse the Obamassiah sitting in the UN?
He shall have power, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, to make treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur...
Even with the D's in control, that may be a tougher threshold to achieve.
Good, so should we alert the SCOTUS? almost sarc
Yes, I saw a note on that (not on FR).
Someone like Tom Clancy should start writing a book with an Obama-like character as President.
It would be interesting to fast-forward and see how history might write itself.
Nah, you just have to think evil like a Democrat! A quorum of the Senate only needs 51 present. If you have a quorum, you can have a legal seating and call-to-order of the Senate to conduct business.
Here's the plan:
Organize a Democratic Senate meeting. Democrats only, and you only need the safest 51 seats; let the 9 "potentially lost" seats out. At this meeting, vote to open session, since you have a quorum. At this point, the Democrat-only meeting is a legal and fully-recognized meeting of the Senate.
Then you need 2/3rds of the Senators present to approve - that's just 34 votes needed!
See, it's really easy to do - no need to worry about the pesky GOP, and you only need 34 of the safe seats to actually vote! Yes, you can actually pass a "2/3rds majority" clause with just 1/3rd of the Senate voting affirmative.
It was Ethiopia’s turn, so naturally Obama’s name came up.
“US Constitution, Article 1, Section 9-No title of nobility shall be granted by the United States: and no person holding any office of profit or trust under them, shall, without the consent of the Congress, accept of any present, emolument, office, or title, of any kind whatever, from any king, prince, or foreign state.”
Whether or not this section applies, this is a HUGE conflict of interest. Does this man not have any competent legal counsel?
Then again, maybe when your goal is global dominance, legal counsel becomes irrelevant.
Obama would have to resign as POTUS to accept the Chairmanship of the UN Security Council.
Do it O.
