A president acting unilaterally is a neutered president. Changing terminology does not negate the Constitution.

A non-binding resolution is a written motion adopted by a deliberative body that cannot progress into a law. The substance of the resolution can be anything that can normally be proposed as a motion.
This type of resolution is often used to express the body's approval or disapproval of something that they cannot otherwise vote on, due to the matter being handled by another jurisdiction, or being protected by a constitution.
so no source?A treaty is a treaty. Nonbinding still requires governmental reporting and other monetary considerations, which require both houses to pass the funding.
It is a nonbinding accord. You can't even get the simplest of facts straight.So Obama is going to sign a verbal agreement? Should be fun to watch him try.
A defense commitment signed by Bush which he felt did not need Congressional ratification!The letter, signed by Chairman Joseph R. Biden Jr. (D-Del.) and ranking minority member Richard G. Lugar (R-Ind.), along with John F. Kerry (D-Mass.) and Chuck Hagel (R-Neb.), cited "the Constitutional and legal implications of these potentially sweeping arrangements," and said the need for legislative approval "remains an open issue."
Status of forces agreements, which the United States has with more than 80 countries around the world, are not considered treaties and are traditionally signed under executive authority -- though the agreement the Bush administration seeks in Iraq ranges far beyond any other such accord. A statement signed by Bush and Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki last fall said the "strategic framework" would include a U.S. commitment to defend Iraq. But the White House has said that such a commitment is not binding and that Bush can sign it as an "executive agreement" without congressional ratification.
The senators also charged that the administration had not kept its promise to "closely consult" with Congress during the negotiations and noted that it had yet to respond to written questions the committee posed nearly two months ago.
With President Bush barely a day away from Moscow, it began to appear today that he would not be bringing with him economic proposals to transform his first Kremlin meeting with President Vladimir V. Putin into anything more than a funeral service for the cold war.
The two presidents are also to sign a nonbinding agreement setting out a new framework for bilateral relations.
The saddest part is that even though the "lawless President" claim has been stomped, it won't stop the tards from calling him that as if henceforth it has been established as fact. Being proven totally wrong does not mitigate the desire to believe in any way.The best part of this thread is seeing the RWnuts flail about in denial after getting snookered by the dishonest propaganda in the OP.
The second best part is the OP trying to un-snooker herself from her own snookering.

It's as if never ending attempts and repetition are the same thing as evidential facts to them.
Whack-A-Mole.
"Someone said it, I want to believe it, that settles it!"
Which facts?Liberals have raised ignoring fact to a whole new level.

Let Obama implement his own climate change rules
Make the do nothing congress stop him
The parts Obama is working on would be non-binding on the United States.
Whew! Imaginary constitutional crisis topic done. And within the first page.
Well done, everyone. Well done.
