Representative Mike Kelly (R PA) introduced an amendment last night to H.R. 1960, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014 (NDAA), to prohibit federal funding for the implementation of the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) for one year. The amendment was adopted unanimously by voice vote and included in the final passage of the NDAA, which Rep. Kelly voted to support.

um... that treaty was never ratified by the senate, and thus has no affect. I have no idea what this vote was about.

I think it's about the rumblings that the Usurping Constitutional Scholar will circumvent congress and EO it. I know it wouldn't be legal but that never stops Owebama.

It was probably “deemed” ratified.
