Obama told to back off U.N. gun treaty

[JPR1959]

After the November elections, the Senate will be in lame duck session mode. This treaty could possibly pass with several of the RINO senators voting for it. It's a scary idea, but I don't think it would happen.

A treaty is un-ratified unless / until the senate approves with a 2/3rds majority - simple as that.

IOW, Obama can sign it, but unless / until it's constitutionally ratified, it's meaningless.

I hope you're right.

Here is a link to a page asking you to sign the petition against the treaty; it also provides easy email services to your Reps and Sens.

<a name="2.2.2">He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments.

The President cannot enact a treaty.
