Obama to Sign U.N. Firearms Treaty Rejected by Senate
President Barack Obama will soon sign an international arms trade treaty previously rejected by the United States Senate.
The United Nations Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) establishes regulations for international arms sales. Categories of firearms listed in the treaty includes tanks, artillery, and small arms such as handguns. The U.N. General Assemblypassed the treaty on April 2nd with a vote of 153-4, with the United States voting in favor. Obama intends to sign the treaty on June 3rd.
On March 23rd, Senator James Inhofe (R-Okla.) introduced an amendment to prevent the U.S. from entering into the treaty. It passed by a vote of 53 to 46.
Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) introduced another amendmentto ensure “that the United States will not negotiate or support treaties that violate Americans’ Second Amendment rights under the Constitution of the United States.” This amendment passed in the Senate by a voice vote.
Signatories of the treaty are encouraged to keep records on the recipients of imported arms and to introduce domestic legislation to support the treaty’s requirements, according to the National Rifle Association Institute for Legislative Action.
Due to the Senate’s response to the treaty, Obama’s signature will be symbolic at best. According to Article II, Section 2, Clause 2 of the U.S. Constitution, the President “shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur.”
This is an Illegal Bill, It is the Senates Job to Ratify any Treaty; Obama is committing a crime if he goes ahead with this!
High Crimes and Misdemeanors has been and is an Impeachable Offense, any violation or abuse of the public trust injurious to society as a whole is an impeachable offense.
Treason, which includes Bribery and Corruption are also Impeachable Offenses. The president took an oath to uphold the constitution; Treason consists of attempting to subvert or overthrow the constitutional government.
Signing into law any UN laws and/or Accepting (Agreeing) to allow any rules or laws that violate our Constitution is treason.
