Obama's Bill To Hand US Sovereignty to United Nations
*************************EXCERPT***********************
Via Four Winds: Obama's bill S2433 would require the U.S. to initially direct .7 percent of our GNP into the United Nations coffers for distribution as they see fit, for "food" to third world nations. Under earlier agreements this would evolve into a national tax on the U.S. with the UN attempting to levy this on all first world nations.
The U.N. would have the power to increase this rate of taxation.
The U.S. would be required to surrender some of its sovereignty over foreign aid by putting it under UN control. The bill would force the U.S. to sign onto the U.N.'s Millennium Declaration, which would commit us not only to "banning small arms and light weapons" but also to adhere to the International Criminal Court Treaty and the Kyoto Protocol.So Obama finally tried to do something. What's the use of running for president when you are just going to hand your power over to the Secretary General?
WND called Obama's office and the others who support this bill....No comments.
I believe that would require an Amendment to the Constitution. Good luck with that, Barry. It’d be your first defeat.
To Amend the Constitution, two ways are possible...
1. Congress proposes amendments.
Both houses of Congress would have to approve by two-thirds , a resolution calling for the amendment. The resolution does not require the President’s signature. To become effective, the proposed amendment must then be “ratified” (approved) by the legislatures of three-fourths of the states. Congress usually sets a time limit of seven years for ratification by the states.
2. The states propose amendments.
The legislatures of two-thirds of the states vote to call for a convention of the States, at which constitutional amendments can be proposed. Amendments proposed by the convention would, again, require ratification by the legislatures of three-fourths of the states.
