Remember the Kyoto Protocol treaty on climate change that Bill Clinton signed but was never sent to the Senate for ratification?
What is there to prevent Obama and liberals in Congress from demanding a similar process to ratify the Kyoto accords? I know the Corker Bill is limited to the nuclear agreement with Iran, but once treaty circumvention has precedent, why not use it for "global warming," too?

Well, a sad commentary on our alleged Republicans in Washington,
the vote for the INARA bill was 98-1 in favor in the US Senate
and 400-0 as part of other items on the suspense or consent calendar.
So the only person who voted against it I think was Senator Tom Cotton.
Do you know him? Let me know!
A good idea but probably a waste of time. His Arrogance will have NSA pull out those pictures of Kennedy and Roberts naked with little boys and they will rewrite the agreement.
I know who he is, but I don’t know him and he isn’t my Senator. And, yes, it is a very sad commentary on the Stupid Party that this thing was sponsored by Corker and passed with near 100% Republican support.
Constitution of the United States, Article II, Section 2, Clause 2: “[The President] shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur...”
It’s a treaty. It requires 2/3 of the Senate to concur.
