Wouldn't it be more productive to call for the electoral defeat of those Senators?<<

Why yes, it would!

But do we need the electoral process to rid ourselves of those who disobey the constitution? We should be able to throw them out on their ears without a fare thee well...

Stiil the President has the power to veto right? If he does not follow the constitution, then he is just as guilty.

Dust off your version of the Constitution. A President can't veto a treaty, which requires a supermajority to pass anyway.

I think I'm seeing the intellectual abilities of the pro tax protectionist crowd.

We kinda do. If only one person (say, the President) is doing it, then we can get Congress involved. But if the entire political class is doing it, then our only recourse is elections. Well, that and forcible overthrow, but how realistic an option is that? What's approach is actually going to get the job done, instead of just being emotionally satisfying to talk about?

"Any USA President that signs this Trade/Treaty should be IMPEACHED."

Easy, there, Iron Matron. GWB has signed CAFTA, and this is a pro-Bush site.
