This is clearly bad. Regardless of whether congress has the power to say "yea" or "nay". Once plans have been made then the ARM TWISTING begins. So guess what congress will vote? Congress' involvement will be basically to rubber stamp what ever King George wants.

Your insulting reference to "King George" aside, history is filled with instances of Congress refusing to ratify agreements made by the Executive Branch. Examples that pop to mind immediately are President Wilson's League of Nations and President Clinton's Kyoto Accord (or whatever that thing was in the late 90's that ticked off the environmentalists when it got a down-check).
