“But this is also about Americas word.”
C’mon now, stop it. I know you know how the Constitution works. The Senate gives America’s word through the ratification process and nothing of the sort happened here. The President can sign all the bar napkins he wants, but until the Budapest Memorandum is ratified in the Senate, it means absolutely nothing.

Budapest Memorandum is as useless as the Dayton Accords were.
Another Clinton foul-up.

Obama has declared Congress useless, They passed the ACA as a budgetary amendment. Even worse, Congress has abdicated their power to the Executive branch, by not even passing a budget for 4 years, raising the debt ceiling twice, and forcing a targeted sequestration. The legislative branch too has remained mostly quiet. Chief Justice Roberts rewrote the ACA changing penalties into taxes to make it Constitutional (somewhat). Obama bypassed a convened Congress to make recess appointments.
And that's only a small list of what the Imperial Presidency of Obama has done. I'd say his “bar napkin” Presidency has become all powerful.
