In other words, the Senate does not initiate a treaty, but must consent to it. I suppose that after Carter accepted the UN's treaty in 1980, the Senate never consented to it. Now, they are ready to bring it back as an issue.

And Biden notwithstanding, it apparently must be 2/3rd's consent, which I hope and trust is not possible...it may work for Biden in Delaware (I think that's his state?!) but I don't think it will work in the so-called "fly-over" country...hopefully his "selected" chairmanship of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee (thanks jumpin' Jim) will end with November's elections...

Freegards, and thanks for going back and doing the "research"...!
