Constitutional Chutzpah

A president acting unilaterally is a neutered president. Changing terminology does not negate the Constitution.
 
Congress passes nonbinding resolutions all the time, on matters that are outside their jurisdiction. That's why they are nonbinding resolutions.

I don't see you retards getting your panties in a bunch every time they pass one.

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.
 
The only chutzpah we have seen here is on the part of tards pretending they understand the complexities of what is going on. :booze:
 
Iraq May Request Extension For U.S.
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.
A defense commitment signed by Bush which he felt did not need Congressional ratification!

"...is not binding..."
 
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.
 
As Bush Heads for Russia, Hopes for an Investment Plan Fade

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.

It's as if never ending attempts and repetition are the same thing as evidential facts to them.

Whack-A-Mole.

American negotiators are instead homing in on a hybrid agreement — a proposal to blend legally binding conditions from an existing 1992 treaty with new voluntary pledges. The mix would create a deal that would update the treaty, and thus, negotiators say, not require a new vote of ratification. (Kyoto reference)

Countries would be legally required to enact domestic climate change policies — but would voluntarily pledge to specific levels of emissions cuts and to channel money to poor countries to help them adapt to climate change. Countries might then be legally obligated to report their progress toward meeting those pledges at meetings held to identify those nations that did not meet their cuts.

It's new! It's improved, but don't call it a treaty. Please don't call it that. It is a treaty and binding.

Believing what one wants to believe, despite the facts, has been a part of human nature ever since Man came into being,

6000 years ago.
 
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.

Ah, so it's one of those fancy new "non-binding treaties," eh Comrade? Nothing for those who cling to "god, guns, and the Constitution" to get worked up over, you'll forget the whole thing once it's in place - Obama knows best!
