Boehner cannot really do anything about this since only the Senate approves treaties.

If the Senate does not ratify Start III, they will try to ram it through as a normal piece of Federal legislation, likely attached to the Defense Appropriations bill (With the repeal of DADT). Many "treaties" have been passed as federal legislation to bypass the 2/3rds Senate requirement.

Should this happen, we will need the Republicans to shoot down the appropriations bill until these things are taken off.

Let us cross that bridge when we come to it. However, right now, the House is powerless.

Folks, it is over. We lost. Arm up, prepare to defend yourselves because counting on the criminal cartel in DC is like betting on their being no sunrise tomorrow.

There is ABSOLUTELY no reason to go along with this POS treaty. That wide eyed nut case in the oval office is the enemy of the state. Conspiring with foreign nations against this sovern nation is IMO treason.

I’d be very curious to know exactly which “treaties” have been passed as federal legislation to bypass the 2/3rds Senate requirement.

Can’t be done, and has never been done, IIRC.
