Things have changed since then. Congress has the oversight responsibilty of these treaties taking place. So therefore obamma and his comrades are refusing oversight from taking place as the law allows to happen.

Funny thing is that obamma has to get this treaty that he negoitated in secret, approved by the Senate, which at this time probably will not happen now. Yea!

Show me the Constitutional Amendment.

Nonsense. Presidents negotiate treaties. The Senate ratifies them. Now, there is an ILLEGAL process that the US respects as a matter of "customary international law," but it is still within the purvey of the administrative branch. Worse, under this new illegal system, a treaty carries considerable power at the moment of signature, not requiring ratification.

Better read that article. It is quite up to date.
