#9 Habu – thanks for bringing this up. This may be a dumb question that I could solve with some quick research, but can anyone tell me if this treaty were signed, doesn’t Congress have to agree? Vague memories of the Kyoto treaty come to mind. Anyone?

Monckton addressed this question specifically this morning on the Laura Ingraham show.

From memory, he said that if brought to the Congress as a treaty 67 votes would be needed in the Senate, which would not happen. But that it could be enacted by a simple bill, echoing the treaty, needing only 51 votes. In this case, it could be repealed by a future Senate, and if Republicans loudly proclaimed that fact now, that resistance could forestall presentation of a bill.
