As for removing the signature, isn't that what the story said he was asking the Senate for?

President Bush did not have to go to congress to remove the signature. What the article referred to was that Congress refused to even consider ratification of the agreement when Clinton signed it first, back in December. President Bush had both the ability and power to remove the signature - or at the very least come out with a public statement saying it was null and void in his eyes. But he refused to do either.

I did mis-read the article. Thanks.
