WRONG!
Because Obama cannot unilaterally approve a treaty.
He THINKS he can. But whatever he signed has no force
The key is to get Trump in there to appoint the kind of judges who will AFFIRM that Obama has no power to do this on his own.
Thank you Mr. K. !
Patriots, not only can the POTUS not act unilaterally from Congress regardless what corrupt Congress in cahoots with the corrupt media evidently want people to think, but please consider the following about the fed’s constitutionally limited power to negotiate treaties.
In fact, if Congress really let Obama get away with establishing such a treaty then Congress is wrongly ignoring the following. Based on his experience as vice president and president of the Senate, Thomas Jefferson had essentially clarified that the Senate cannot use its power to approve treaties as a way for Congress to unconstitutionally expand its powers, forcing US citizens to comply with foreign laws in this case.
”In giving to the President and Senate a power to make treaties, the Constitution meant only to authorize them to carry into effect, by way of treaty, any powers they might constitutionally exercise.” - Thomas Jefferson: The Anas, 1793.
”Surely the President and Senate cannot do by treaty what the whole government is interdicted from doing in any way.” - Thomas Jefferson: Parliamentary Manual, 1812.
In this case the Senate is wrongly approving Obama’s alleged treaty by wrongly remaining silent about it.
But more importantly, Congress is also wrongly ignoring a clarification concerning limits on treaty powers by a previous generation of state sovereignty-respecting justices.
More specifically, the Court reflected on Jeffersons words, clarifying that Congress cannot use its power to negotiate treaties as a way to bypass its constitutionally limited powers.
” 2. Insofar as Art. 2(11) of the Uniform Code of Military Justice provides for the military trial of civilian dependents accompanying the armed forces in foreign countries, it cannot be sustained as legislation which is "necessary and proper" to carry out obligations of the United States under international agreements made with those countries, since no agreement with a foreign nation can confer on Congress or any other branch of the Government power which is free from the restraints of the Constitution [emphasis added].” - Reid v. Covert, 1956.
I hope that Trump can find a new, overseas home for the UN.
Remember in November !
Patriots need to support Trump / Pence by also electing a new, state sovereignty-respecting Congress that will not only work within its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers to support Trump’s vision for making America great again for everybody, but will also put a stop to lawless presidents who unconstitutionally use treaties to force citizens to comply with foreign laws.
Note that such a Congress will also probably be willing to fire state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices.
Screw agreements, promises, treaties, or anything else with foreigners, except those made with our allies like CA, GB, OZ, and NZ. The rest can pound sand.
Yes, but it does have a farce.
