The US Constitution is quite clear that treaties must be ratified by a 2/3 vote of the US Senate. That is not "complicated" (contrary the statment in the article), it is simple and obvious and has been in the US Constitution from the beginning.
So Obozo is trying to wrap us up in some kind of "executive agreement" that everyone else in the world regards as a treaty, calls a treaty, and we are supposed to allow Obozo to violate our Constitution!!???
This clown claims to be an expert "Constitutional Law Professor" and he can't even get the basics right!!
Affirmarive sir. It's not complicated. If all else fails, Trump could strike it down with an EO. Stroke of the pen, law of the land. Kinda cool.
When did the senate ratify this??
ChiComs play liberals like a drum.
Obama admin is trying the “it’s not a treaty and is non-binding approach”...see:
Since it is an “unnamed source” saying “still some uncertainties from the US side due to the complicated US system in ratifying such a treaty” in the “South China Morning Post”...I am not getting too worked up just yet....we’ll see.
And, it’s not a treaty.
They call it a pact.
It’s an agreement and will probably be called a communique.
Is this the deal where we destroy ourselves by 2024, and then China has to start taking action?
To me, a "Constitutional Law Professor" is an expert teacher of the entire U.S. Constitution.
I must confess that I am ignorant of the current definition of the "The Constitution."
Is it the original Constitution including the Bill of Rights (aka the first ten amendments)? Is it the original Constitution including ALL of the Amendments to date?
But I do know this : Obama's expertise and teaching was limited exclusively to those portions of the Constitution addressing the goals, demands and organizing of the "gibsmedat" culture of all colors, and his similar behavior both in word and in deed.
The US tied with its hands behind its back while China makes promises it intends to violate. Global scam initiative
China is one of the world's biggest producers of coal.They won't stop.
The deal is only as good as “The Great ObamaNation’s” word.
President Trump should throw this in the circular file cabinet 1/21/2017.
Both Obozo and the Chinese leadership lie for a living.
This is the classic “sounds good, means nothing” barf material the world has come to expect from its “leaders”.
It will be great for presstitude headlines and talking points while the Chinese dump garbage from one end of their country to the other.
If you don’t who the fool is in this story, it is you.
Completely meaningless.
Obama was never a Constitutional law professor, he was a part-time lecturer on Alinsky.
He was a professional rabble-rouser.
The Constitution says he cannot be President.
Let me guess ... It allows China to do pretty much what it wants, but limits US energy production to burning dried panda poop ... that it has to import from China.
It's OK if everyone else thinks it's a Treaty as long as the US Congress knows that it's not.
The United States IS NOT bound by any word or provision in it.
The congress of the US continues to have no gonads. They can call it agreement, deals, or whatever but they ware still treaties and need senate approval. But the spineless eaters have their heads in their rectums or are just on the tai like everyone else. Obama should have been impeached for fast and furious and using the IRS to slap opponents. So everything else pales by comparison.
Elitist dreaming. Totally impossible to enforce.
