Rep. Lauren Boebert, Colorado Republican, has introduced a bill to block the Biden administration from reentering the Paris agreement until it receives Senate confirmation, a nod to the longstanding debate over the accord’s legitimacy.
Her bill, which has 11 GOP cosponsors, bars Congress from appropriating funds to implement the international climate accord until it receives Senate ratification, a step that former President Obama skipped when he used his executive authority to enter the agreement in 2016.
“My bill prohibits Congress from spending a single penny on the Paris Agreement until this treaty is ratified by the United States Senate,” said Ms. Boebert in a Thursday press release. “Joe Biden took an oath to uphold the U.S. Constitution. If he wants to keep it, he must transmit the job-killing Paris Agreement to the U.S. Senate for ratification.”
The bill has little chance of passing the Democrat-controlled House, but the legislation has drawn attention to the debate over whether the Paris accord is an executive agreement, as the Obama administration maintained, or a treaty that requires the advice and consent of the Senate under the Constitution.

I hope she sticks to her guns on this....
Lauren totally rocks!!
Good issue for the 2022 midterms.
If Joe fails to get legislation moving in the Senate, he will increasingly depend on EOs and regulations from his departments to rule this country. We need to challenge every EO and regulation with a Trump federal judge.
This woman may well save our country.
Just a smart fight to pick.
A treaty must be approved in the Senate. They just make the rules up and it has to be stopped.
GO LAUREN!!!
He’s already signed 40 at last count!
One of the few standing up for ordinary Americans against the swamp.
First, they have to steal elections in order to get into power in the first place.
Then, they dupe stupid Republicans into signing on to create this narrative of bipartisanship.
If that fails, then they go through the courts or use executive orders.
They can NEVER pass their leftist agenda through the proper legislative process.
Be the Lyme disease to their 🐂💩.
That, and forcing the dems to own these stupid and highly unpopular socialist policies and making them run for reelection on their records. Average folks may not know much about Paris but they damn sure know what it cost to fill their tank last week.

She’s a typical western slope Colorado patriot.

Maybe Trump should have gone that route to kill it permanently.
