The truth is, the Senate took over the power completely. They turned advice and consent into they have to aaprove it and will rewrite the treaty. You may not have been out free when McConnell fucked up Obama's nuke treaty. But the right kept it from being exempt from Trump's tiny little hatreds.
As predicted, trump is declaring victory and bailing out of his useless war.

no, that's not really the truth.
that would be unconsitutional.
no they didn't.
that would be unconstitutional.
gotta a link to an unconstitutionional law for me?
qed.
The president has the right to negotiate treaties, but two thirds of the Senate is required to ratify a treaty. Tariffs were not thought at the time to be part of treaties, so are completely under the authority of the Congress.
You do not have a link to the Constitution.

when you neocon fuckhounds started calling tariffs "just a tax" I knew you were on lots of crack and gay.
Congress sets tariffs. trump has no say in that.
Ichabod Stain
Was it me?
tariffs are clearly part of trade agreements.
the arrangement you speak of is clearly unconstitutional.
you lose again, globalist ass eater.
Tariffs are part of a trade treaty that does not exist? That is complete nonsense.
What next, will you say freedom of speech is part of a treaty too?
Ichabod Stain
Was it me?
a tariff is clearly part of a trade agreement.
freedom of speech is in the bill of rights.
The Constitution clearly says that Congress has the right to set tariffs, and that individuals have the right to freedom of speech. If one right can be taken away by proposing an international agreement, then why not the other?
Ichabod Stain
Was it me?
no it doesn't.
it says the president has treaty power.
you're lying again, globalist shit-fer.
Ichabod Stain
Was it me?
this tariff stuff really is the big issue.
Israeli nonsense is a distraction.
Israeli nonsense is a distraction.
No it does not. And we are not even talking about treaties, but only "proposed agreements" to avoid having to go to the Senate.
But let's say the president has absolute power over any agreement, and can put anything he wants in them. he could put tariffs, and freedom of speech in them, taking one power away from the Senate, and one power away from the people, right?
Ichabod Stain
Was it me?
It does say the president has full treaty power.
Ichabod Stain
Was it me?
you all are afraid to post the unconstitutional laws you rely on.
you know you're dumb and wrong.
