There are rules. He is NOT in compliance with the rules he took the oath to uphold. He should be removed from office.

'The USTR had been insisting that because ACTA does not require any change to US law, it doesn't need any such approval. Of course, that ignores a few issues. First, while it may not change US laws, it seems likely that it would restrict future changes to laws if we wanted to stay in compliance. For that reason alone, it should have Congressional approval. But the larger point is that international agreements signed without Congressional approval -- so-called "executive agreements," -- can only be done for issues solely under the President's mandate. Copyright and patent laws, however, are the mandate of Congress, not the President.' -

No argument. But who do you think will do it?

An executive order of the POTUS is not a state law.
Were you posting to someone else?

I did not mention “executive order”, I know what that is and a “treaty” is not an executive order.
But I did say “executive agreement”, Obozo legal weasel words. Made up on the fly.
another posted:
“The President can only constitutionally use a sole executive agreement to bind the country on matters that within the sole executive province of the President, which making IP law is not. So Wyden demanded the Administration submit the agreement to Congress or explain why it does not have to.”

There is no defending this action as being legal. It is not. Now the light of day must be shined on this POS to expose what he is trying to do.

From the article,
As it has happened in most countries that signed ACTA, in the United States the President has issued an executive order to keep negotiations concerning Internet control legislation secret. Barack Obama has cited national security concerns.
Not sure what you're saying. We're in agreement. Obama's action is illegal. That's why it'll be struck down when it hits the courts. Just like McCain-Feingold was.

He will defy the laws until someone holds him accountable.
For 3 years he has done that, but lately is appears he is desperate and flagrantly ignores any restraint.
November cannot come soon enough.

This ACTA is worse than SOPA. It forces ISPS to monitor all of our online activities to see if we are accessing any sites they don't want us to. This , like SOPA, will cripple and break the Internet.
Europe is about to ratify.
How long do we have to use the Internet? Not long I'd say and say goodbye to freerepublic also
And this Obama and other countries have been doing this ACTA in secret. NAFTA,China trade agreement, and the other trade agreements were meant to destroy U.S.A sovreignity and U.S. economy . this ACTA will destroy the Internet and our freedom.

And this Obama and other countries have been doing this ACTA in secret. Of course the media has been hiding this ACTA from the public.

I can’t help but wonder what the last seven or so presidents would have done on this issue.
