Did the Senate even see the Paris global climate treaty ?

Nope. Executive order. Trump can negate it in 30 seconds. Stroke of the pen, law of the land. Pretty cool.

hehehehehehe.

No, they did not. Obama signed it alone, calling it an “accord”. For the LA times to refer to it as a “treaty” is therefore a lie (no surprise there).

Obama circumvented the “advise and consent” clause, and for that reason alone Trump is fully justified in abrogating it. However, i think a better tactic would be for him actually to submit it to the Senate, and watch it get voted down. A triumph for both common sense and the Constitution.
