“DOA”

I didn’t know that you controlled Congress. /s

The House doesn’t pass treaties, the Senate does and he has all the Senators that he needs for it.

To pass a treaty requires 67 senators.

It would take repeal of the 2nd Amendment, for the UN Treaty to have any effect in the United States, even if the Senate irresponsibly ratified the treaty.

In any case, enabling legislation would fail in the House.

The People know you can't amend the Constitution by treaty.
