[StBernard] YouTube - Is Obama Poised to Cede US Sovereignty?

[Westley Annis]

Well thank goodness any and all treaties have to go through the State Dept.
and Senate first:




Next, the State Department prepares all the documents for presentation to
the Senate for the advice and consent process. The president and his staff
review the documents and if they believe the treaty is in the best interest
of the country, they present
<http://www.ehow.com/how_5110577_ratify-treaty.html#>  them to the Senate.

Step 3

In the United States the next step is to present the treaty to the U.S.
Senate for advice and consent. The senate doesn't actually ratify the
treaty, but puts in its two cents' worth and then votes whether or not to
consent to the treaty's provisions. A two-thirds majority is required for
the Senate to give its consent. The U.S. House
<http://www.ehow.com/how_5110577_ratify-treaty.html#>  of Representatives
does not vote on ratification at all.

Step 4

Once in the Senate, the treaty goes first to the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee for review. The chairman of the committee may set up hearings to
determine if there are public concerns about the treaty or if there are
changes in U.S. law needed to meet the terms of the agreement. The committee
chair determines the course the treaty will take, if any. A powerful
committee chair can lose a treaty for years in committee. Many unpopular
treaties never reach the floor of the Senate for an up or down vote. If
changes in U.S. law are required, the treaty may remain in committee until
the new laws or rule changes are passed before it is submitted to the full
Senate for a consent vote.

Step 5

Once the treaty receives the Senate's consent, it is returned to the
president to be ratified. The Senate does not actually ratify a treaty; the
president does. He signs an instrument of ratification which places the
treaty in force and binds the U.S. government to the terms of the treaty.
Once this process has taken place and the required numbers of signatories
have ratified the treaty, it goes into effect.


Watcha wanna bet this thing will be filibustered to death?
