Incorrect. Signing a self-evident piece of garbage, if it is a “treaty”, has genuine legal implications. Clinton used treaties to handcuff conservatives repeatedly in the ‘90’s — Bob Bar should know, he was in Congress and watched Krinton do it.

We disagree. Treaties can not override the US Constitution even if the Senate did ratify it. What the current president “thinks” he can do and actually do are two different things and how congress reacts is the same way but the Constitution has specific requirements for treaties.
