Yes, there-fore as New understood his constitution, he was not to don a UN uniform and follow the unconstitutional orders of his commanders by serving under that emblem!

In other words, he is a moron who does not understand the Constitution.

Being too stupid to read is not a defense against insubordination.

Does the constituion mean what it says

Yes.

And it says that Congress has the power to enter into treaties on the behalf of the Federal Government and sign them into US law.

It also says that the President is the executive charged with enforcing the laws authorized by Congress.

It also says that the President is the Commander-In-Chief of the US Armed Forces.

I don't care if you or Michael New don't like the fact that Congress, using the authority expressly granted to it under the Constitution, signed the UN Charter committing the US to UN missions as a permanent member of the Security Council.

Wasn’t it the president who signed the UN Charter? As in Truman? My dad said that “should the US join the UN” was a common debate topic in high schools and college in 1944, I suppose it was, since it was signed in 1945 at San Francisco. How did that work - doesn’t that take ratification by all the states legislature?
