Corker Warns Obama Administration Against Any Action to Implement U.N. Arms Trade Treaty Without Senate Advice and Consent
Just in case Dear Leader was thinking of Making an "Executive Order" to skirt around Congress...... he was sent a letter:
"As you know, Article II, Section 2 of the United States Constitution requires the United States Senate to provide its advice and consent before a treaty becomes binding under United States law. The Senate has not yet provided its advice and consent, and may not provide such consent. As a result, the Executive Branch is not authorized to take any steps to implement the treaty."
[U.S. Senate Comm. on Foreign Relations]
