U.S. presidents are not elected with authoritarian powers, as much as they might believe they have once the Oval Office swells their egos. Rivkin states it simply and boldly: Treaties are not self executing, there was no Congressional action, and so presidents can't just enact them on their own. Kill S. 1194

This is a program that is long overdue for the axe.

said he never worried for his safety during his time in Colombia, and that life in the U.S. is not necessarily any safer than life abroad.

Wow does this guy have his head up his own ass or what!
Try being a Christian or a women in a muslim country. Good luck with that..........

An interesting article...

“In 1976, a young Peace Corps worker in Tonga stabbed Deborah Gardner, another volunteer, 22 times, and went free, with the help of the U.S. government. The killer is alive and well and living in New York City.”

Get rid of the Peace Corps.

They are not a “peace corps.”

From what I have met, they are nothing but a bunch of socialist jerks and who have no understanding about the country or culture to which they have been assigned.

And they leave without having learned anything because their way is the right way.

I can´t stand them.
