Thanks to a Clinton-era statute and an obscure vote last month by the United Nations, federal law now officially makes it illegal for the Obama administration to send a single penny of your money to the UN climate bureaucracy. That is good news for U.S. taxpayers, of course. But it puts the UN and the Obama administration in an awkward position as they struggle desperately to convince other governments that the UN's much-touted “global-warming” regime, officially signed Friday, is not going to crumble in the face of a hostile Congress and a U.S. Constitution that has been trampled at every turn. Now, dozens of U.S. senators, who Obama and the UN hoped to bypass in imposing the global “climate” treaty in defiance of the U.S. Constitution, are putting the UN and Obama on notice.
The latest twist surrounds a 1994 U.S. law passed by Congress and signed by then-President Bill Clinton. Among other elements, the law prohibits the distribution of U.S. taxpayer funds to “any affiliated organization of the United Nations which grants full membership as a state to any organization or group that does not have the internationally recognized attributes of statehood.” Last month, though, the UN climate bureaucracy, known as the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), decided to admit the U.S. taxpayer-funded “State of Palestine” as a member. That means no more American money may legally be disbursed to the UN's climate bureaucracy, no matter what Obama may have lawlessly promised to foreign governments and dictatorships

FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
Patriots, please bear the following in mind. Even if there was no federal law stopping the corrupt RINO-controlled House from using its unique, “power of the purse” powers (1.7.1) to appropriate taxes for the UN climate bureaucracy, it remains that the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to appropriate taxes for such a purpose.
Its all about the a##clown pillaging Americans
When has this EVER stopped him from doing any D@mn things he wants?
You have to give the Dems credit.
They have made the term “lame duck President” totally obsolete under Caliph Baraq.
I’m sure the Republicans in the House and Senate will circle the wagons and commence an energetic response of doing nothing.
