No, the treaty will not go to the President, and there is no opportunity for a veto. It was signed by a previous President, and will go into effect if it is ratified by a 2/3 vote of the Senate.

Thanks for the correction. But see the posts below. There is still room for the Executive to act here.

I am not so sure about the Senate. I hope either the Senate shows nerve, or, if it seems likely not to, the President steps up to the plate.

Best to you,

Richard F.

I am quitting FR.

Ask the management if you want to know why.

Farewell,

Richard F.
