It’s a treaty. If the president presents it to the senate, and 2/3 approve it, the it becomes part of the supreme law of the land.

Its NOT a treaty until the Senate approves it...
The Constitution provides in Article II, Section 2, Clause 2: “He (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.”
This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land.
Art VI, Cl 2, U.S. Constitution
All laws and treaties of the United States are subject to the Constitution. If they are made IN PURSUANCE OF - according to - the Constitution, they are the supreme Law of the Land. If they violate the Constitution they are null and void and unenforceable.
The Paris Accord requires governments to meddle in weather issues and consumption and use of certain types of products. The Constitution gives the feds no such authority. The only way the feds can legally obtain such power and authority is by constitutional amendment. Until then, U.S. involvement in this Paris Accord is illegal because it is unconstitutional.
I heard yesterday on Fox News that 20+ senators, including McConnell, sent the President a letter, urging him to reject this Paris treaty.
I was very encouraged to hear that and hope that the President will regard the wishes of his base and those in Congress who oppose this globalist money-grab.
This was covered by Rush yesterday in detail.
It’s not a treaty it’s an accord. An agreement on common goals and intent. But because of the Treaty of Treaties it is supposed to be followed just as if it was a treaty once Obama signed it. However, the Treaty of Treaties has never been ratified either. So The Paris Accord is essentially a BS-layer cake which lawyers will attempt to bully the US into following unless Trump publicly states his intention to not abide and to withdraw Obama’s signature. At that point the member nations of the Accord and climate-scam lawyers have no grounds to penalize or sue the US.
