President Obama is prepared to enter into the Paris climate accord as early as this week even though Republicans have insisted that the pact must be ratified by the Senate, according to a report out of China. The South China Morning Post reported that Mr. Obama and Chinese President Xi Jinping are “set to jointly announce their ratification” of the ambitious international climate-change pact on Friday, two days before the start of the 11th G-20 Summit in Hangzhou, Zhejiang...
Myron Ebell, director of the free-market Competitive Enterprise Institute’s Center for Energy and Environment, described the report as “curious because ratifying treaties in the United States requires a two-thirds vote of the Senate.”...
Sen. James Inhofe, chairman of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, has warned other nations that without Senate approval, the agreement will “soon become another stack of empty promises on global warming.” I want to make sure international participants are warned now that the president’s commitment lacks the support of his own government and will fail,” Mr. Inhofe said in an April 12 statement...
“One can only speculate how the administration plans to ratify the agreement without approval of the Senate,” the Science and Environmental Policy Project said in a Sunday statement. “But given the disregard the administration has demonstrated toward Congress and the Constitution, such speculation is fitting.”

President Trump’s first official act should be to ask for the return of the Churchill bust to the White House. Then, put in a call to the Canuks about a certain oil pipeline...
He needs to hit that one hard: just another Democrat clusterfeck dumped on the American people.
Add to his many titles “ Ratifier of Treaties”
Osama can “ratify” all he wants; it isn’t a ratification according to the US Constitution. If this pretend puppet dictator thinks that it is, then he truly is as big an idiot as we know him to be.
His despotic tyranny is quickly coming to an end and all this Idi Amin posing will end too.
Yeah. Whatever.
I dont give a #### what he signs now.
In 5 months it will be deleted.
Along with a million other agreements and laws.

Hey Jim, just state that it is null and void without senate approval. Forget the stupid AGW narrative.
FUBO.
MAGA!!
I thought Paris had OTHER things to worry about??
I think he can make the request before inauguration and an honor guard of volunteers can go to the UK and return the bust for delivery during his acceptance speech.
Mr.Trump WILL BE BUSY.
The bust was on loan from the British Embassy in DC.
President Trump is going to have a very busy first year.
I’m wondering if Trump is going to be able to get anything done at all in his first 6 months, other then cleaning up Obama’s messes...might take half his first term...the list is really long by now...
Dear Washintgon,
America is coming,
and they’re bringing Donald J Trump.
And it should be null and void.
Just like so much this administration has done.
Screw anyone depending on it.
This ONLY means it’s not worth the paper it’s printed on.
What an arrogant POS!
Well, he can sign whatever he wants.Its not worth used toilet paper.
There better be a President Trump is all I can say at THIS time....
I’d like to see a contract with America that will be done the first 100 days. Ask Americans to vote in Republicans. Name he cabinet.
The legitimate President signing a illegitimate treaty. Worthless.
