Paris Agreement on climate change, Obama did not even go through the motions. He bypassed Congress altogether
President Obama has just committed his most flagrant violation of the U.S. Constitution to date. He purported to commit the United States to a legally binding treaty without first obtaining consent by two thirds of the Senators present, as required under Article II, Section 2 of the Constitution. Obama is using the United Nations to end run the Senate with regard to the Paris Agreement on climate change negotiated last December.
Last week, Obama submitted an instrument to United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, for deposit with the UN, which he claims signifies official acceptance of the Paris Agreement by the United States. Obama said he and Chinas President Xi Jinping together decided to commit formally to joining the agreement ahead of schedule.
TRAITOR/Dictator
No other words come close
Illegal. Violates the Constitution.
Obama has set up the next President to either ignore the unlawful precedents or to actually abide by the Constitution.
He didn’t bypass anything.
Its null and void without the Senate vote.
PING
IF Mitch has a backbone obozo won’t be able to do this
Looks like he saw his chance while everyone’s focused on hellary’s hacking.
Squirrel, anyone?
Nope. No spine.
File impeachment charges, you toothless Republicans. It is clearly stated the Constitution that the U.S. can only be bound by treaties passed by three-fourths of the Senate. The UN is a nest of our enemies and should be thrown out of the U.S. by President Trump. Woodrow Wilson’s name should be taken off every building that a gullible people named years ago.
Article II Section 1 says he can’t be President and nobody cares.
Null and Void. Both this “treaty” and this president.
I find it interesting he didn’t even put it up for test vote. The only reason I can think of for that is no Democrat wants his or her name associated with this treaty.
And I just flew to the moon, completely bypassing the need for a rocket.

You nailed it.
As far as I’m concerned - everything he has signed is Null and Void!
And I just flew to the moon, completely bypassing the need for a rocket.
= = =
Lots of beans for dinner?????
Mitch McConnell should send a letter to the UN stating that Obama’s action and document have no legal standing. Will he? I bet he would never confront Obama like that.
So,..
Where are the Articles of Impeachment?
*crickets*
Bueller? Anyone?
