"Neither of those had a prayer of passing the Senate. Maybe you should do some fact checking before posting such a barrage of pap designed to appeal more to emotion than to thought."
President Clinton not only signed the Kyoto Global Warming nonsense, but he also signed an Executive Order that mandated that all government agencies treat Kyoto as though it had been ratified by Congress.
That XO forced our Defense companies to comply with Kyoto emissions limits, among other things.
President Bush killed Kyoto by first unsigning that treaty and then signing a new XO that repealed former President Clinton's Kyoto enforcement order.
...And if you find the above "emotional" instead of factual, let me have whatever it is that you're drinking.
President Bush killed Kyoto by first unsigning that treaty and then signing a new XO that repealed former President Clinton's Kyoto enforcement order. This would be a fun one to fact-find on. I wonder what the details REALLY are. Seems both sides are making hay with sweeping assertions. At any rate, Congress has legislative power if it dares to assert it.
... the day before he left office, Clinton signed an Executive Order implementing the Kyoto Protocol. George W. Bush wrote an Executive Order canceling Clinton's executive order. The environmental lobby took Bush to court and sued in the Clinton federal court in DC to override Bush's executive order. The DC US District Court ruled that, in this one instance, a new president could not vacate the Executive Order of an outgoing president since HIS MOTIVE FOR DOING SO WAS PURELY POLITICAL.http://www.internet-grocer.net/oilsuply.htm

I wish he would sign an executive order that countermands the one Clinton signed authorizing the UN's Agenda 21 be implemented. Google agenda 21 and see what I mean.
