The BS meter is pegged on this one.

Legally, Congress would have to ratify such an agreement.

[geo40xyz]

Yes, at least two:-()

[Knitting A Conundrum]

Absolutely. That type of agreement has to be ratified.

"Legally, Congress would have to ratify such an agreement."

Back in the days of the Constitution you would have been correct.

[Road Warrior ‘04]

Legally, Congress would have to ratify such an agreement.

First, legality means nothing to this Congress. Second, it might be buried in the porkulus package. But, how would we know, no one read it!

Legally, Congress would have to ratify such an agreement.

There is no such authority in Congress--and certainly not in the Administration. Not only is there no authority for such a taking, it would be specifically prohibited by the Fifth Amendment.

Well, under Clintoon, the Chinese WERE on the way to purchasing rights to use the port at Long Beach California until GOP raised a stink over it

Perhaps future Chinese requests for “cooperatve ventures” using our ports and our farmland to grow food for export to China and our mines to send coal to China (which Biden said in the campaign should be done with “dirty coal” )

all of this transfer of our resources to China will occur and be made to appear like a global good will gesture instead of a secret treaty that bartered our national resources and security away

after all, it is now being proven with the usurper's installation that we the people no longer have ANY constitutional protections of the Powers decide to ignore us

This is NOT far fetched
