The President has authority to withdraw unilaterally from any treaty. Trump can just withdraw without ever sending it to the Senate. Sending it to the Senate was Obozo’s job. Since it was never ratified, it is even easier for him to withdraw from the agreement.

Tada.

I've been waiting for someone here to know this and state it. As you noticed, many don't know or have forgotten.

As an example, FR should have remembered that Bush unilaterally withdrew from the ABM Treaty with Russia that was ratified by the Senate in 1972.

I’ve said this on FR many times. This treaty was never ratified by the US Senate and therefore has never been in legal force for the USA.

It is merely an “executive agreement” by the Obozo admin. and therefore subject to easy repudiation with just a word “NO” from President Trump.

Obozo knew he could not get Senate ratification, and so he never submitted it to try to make it a binding treaty. It is nothing if President Trump says it is nothing.

We do not have to go through some multi-year process that the globullists want to foist on us, either. All President Trump needs to say is that that he renounces the agreement of his predecessor and the USA is not bound by anything in the so-called “Paris Climate Accord.”

I expect that after today it will have been made clear by President Trump that Obozo’s agreement was merely a scrap of paper that has been tossed in the wastebin of history.
