Couch it however you want but it’s time to place the Constitution in front of the American People and the feds.

Let the argument be that it is unconstitutional because it violates Art III, Sec 3, Cl 1, and let the Constitution spell it out. An agreement that violates this clause is not the same as accusing a President of treason. It is simply saying that whatever the motive or intent, the agreement itself is illegal.

This is an unconstitutional agreement because it aids and abets our avowed enemy and, therefore, must be declared illegal and unenforceable. The “danger” is what Obama has done and is doing. The danger is what this agreement allows and moves forward. I, and I hope many others, am less worried about the “danger” to the President than the danger this illegal agreement is to America.

Obama has been engaged in “soft” and not so soft coup attempts for the last seven years, just as he promised he would. It’s time for the American People to stand up to his unconstitutional acts which by definition are acts of tyranny.

"This is an unconstitutional agreement because it aids and abets our avowed enemy and, therefore, must be declared illegal and unenforceable."

Which begs the question: Constitutional by who's standards? Aids and abets by who's standards? Enemy by who's standards? Declared illegal by who? Realistically, the President is given authority to conduct foreign policy. The Senate to ratify treaties. Had Congress not acted, not voted it would just amount to a Presidential agreement -- which has been pretty well fleshed out in several Supreme Court decisions, but unless actually funded by Congress, money can't be spent. This whole 'inversion vote' ... the one we are either supposed to believe the GOPe was tricked into agreeing too, or that they actually thought it was a good idea in the name of fairness? Poppycock. It was mutually agreed upon by both elected party leaders to pass this. The GOPe couldn't appear to give in, yet wanted the agreement/treaty to pass. So don't blame Obama. He did his job (as crappy and incoherent to historical policy as it is) This is the fault of Congress.
