If there is no way to get rid of it, does that mean that one signature would end american sovereignty for all time?

Treaties are broken all the time.

Treaties generally have recission clauses.

As soon as the Obamanation finishes destroying our navy, yes.

Treaties can be later abrogated.

More here, FWIW...

Interpretation and Termination of Treaties as International Compacts

Is this what you were thinking of? :)

If any president signs any international treaty, doesn't that become a part of the constitution?

Amendments are the only things that can become part of the Constitution, unless you want to count judicial activism.

"Judicial activism"; doesn't that qualify as an oxymoron?

Treaties are subject to "Advice and Consent".

Old G Washington story...IMOW..GW Walked into the Senate Chamber with Knox by his side looking for consent...Senate said "Wait a minute, we've never even seen this." "Well, that's why I brought Knox...to explain it to you".

Not today said the Senate...Washington was livid. "Well then, why am I hear?" and walked out in a huff. Maclay (sp) diary..Library of Congress...American Memories...

A treaty can be abolished in the same way it was agreed to, through an act of Congress. The Constitution requires that treaties are considered “high law of the land”.

Maybe some one can help my memory here as to which treaty:

Reagan was good an angry about a certain treaty. He instructed his staff to rip it up. A member of his staff reminded him that there was an agreement that there had to be a two year notice if one wanted to get out from under this treaty. He angrily told the staff member to rip that up too.

End of treaty.

We miss you Ron.
