This is not agreement, it is treaty. Deal with it. Trump said stopping funding immediately.
There used to be a tenet of American law that you could not sign something that extends beyond your own authority.
Obama signed this agreement knowing that he would not be in office as of 1-20-2017 AND he did not get approval from the Senate.
It is arguable that he can bind the incoming President in this manner, regardless of what the agreement says.
He did not have apparent authority because everyone knows he was out in 2017.
Was that ratified by two thirds of the senate? If not, piss on it.
