Regarding that last sentence: it is my understanding that treaties must be ratified by the Senate. nobama CANNOT ratify a treaty, even by presidential order.
Jan 20, 2016 draws neigh, thank the Lord.

Yeah that’s the sort of brave talk the Quebec Separatists were putting out there in 1976. Did not last long after they crunched the numbers.

The U.S. ratified the agreement by presidential order on Sept. 3.
Somebody didn't read the Constitution.

Yo, Michael, you forgot the most important part. We elected DemocRAT super-majorities to our Assembly and Senate.
Man, we didn't just stick a butter knife into the electrical outlet, we stuck the whole damn utensil drawer into it.

Nope— Our land. Illegal Aliens should be deported forthwith. Liberals should be reeducated at reeducation centers until they repent or property rights should terminated.

Actually it would be better if once cities got large enough they would just become their own countries like monaco or leitchenstein or whatever.
It would clear the progressive dead wood from our country if New York, and LA become their own countries and had to negotiate a trade deal with the heart land to keep their citizens fed, hehe heh

NO SUCH THING HAPPENED AS THEY SAY
The LA Times really is stuck on Stupid and they assume everyone is an idiot like them. The President CAN NOT RATIFY A TREATY, It Requires a vote of at least 60 in the SENATE. They Know this, WHY ARE THEY LYING??
More FAKE NEWS!

Nope because then they’ll declare themselves a Third World country and demand aid and military protection from US taxpayers.

They could also relocate to a nation that has already implemented the form of government they prefer, like Cuba, for example.

Then I can't wait for Trump to "ratify" mandatory reciprocity of LTC licenses across the country.
