Executive orders are not laws. Only if the Senate ratifies a treaty will the terms of the treaty become the law of our land. Othwerwise, these bureaucratic dictats are routinely challenged in courts and are thrown out by the courts regularly. BTW, if he really wanted to do something to end environmental terrorism, why doesn't he defund the EPA?

"Executive orders are not laws."

Stop grasping, you're making yourself look silly. You asked if President Bush "knew" if the Senate had to ratify treaties.

Well, the fact of the matter is that President Clinton signed Executive Orders that *forced* all federal government agencies to behave as though the Kyoto Treaty *had* been ratified, even though it hadn't.

President Bush repealed those XO's, and Bush also pulled the U.S. out of the whole Kyoto ratification process.

Does none of this matter to you? Are you so opinionated and biased that you won't even give President Bush credit for duly killing the Kyoto Global Warming treaty?
