And the Obama agreement isn't binding on future presidents or Congress. And will be DOA 5 minutes after Obama leaves office in 18 months.
Oppps, I guess I just violated the Logan Act........according to Obamazoids. Originally Posted by Whirlaway

If he does, he certainly has an interesting method of how to go about it.Mostly like this. Someone will start a thread. In less than a page, when they're proven wrong or someone comes with a different take, it devolves into a name-calling free for all. You haven't lived until you've been called an odumbo grubered minion. You'll find out what that means soon enough.
This is the only thread I have participated on in this forum. I didn't start some other thread that apparently has some people upset, nor did I post in it.
So are any of these threads actual arguments, or do they all involve name-calling, insults, and not much else? I can play it either way, I just want to know the landscape. However, politics that aren't persuasive tend to be pretty useless.
Oh, and I happen to be a Republican. I am NOT a conservative, I am NOT a liberal, and I am NOT a Tea Bagger. Originally Posted by tulsatiger

I'm not going to start it, but if they're gonna start in with the name calling, I can damn well give as good as I get. If I'm treated in a somewhat respectable tone, I react in kind. If not, they can fuck themselves.
Well, I have hopes... not realistic ones, mind you. After all, this IS the internet. Originally Posted by tulsatiger

And, correct me if I'm wrong, which I'm not, the Constitution requires the advice of the Senate as well as consent. Advice AND consent. Puts a different light on it.
A sole-executive agreement can only be negotiated and entered into through the president's authority (1) in foreign policy, (2) as commander-in-chief of the armed forces, (3) from a prior act of Congress, or (4) from a prior treaty.[1] Agreements beyond these competencies must have the approval of Congress (for congressional-executive agreements) or the Senate (for treaties).
Several framers of the U.S. Constitution believed that the required role of the Senate is to advise the President after the nomination has been made by the President Originally Posted by UnderConstruction

Puts a different light on it.Not for a sole executive agreement it doesn't, which is what I stated. Look again. Where did I pick it up? Article 2 of the goddamned constitution you hold so dear. I don't need to attribute that.
Oh, and how is an executive agreement "nominated"? You are taking WPF's place! You copy and paste without attribution, and without understanding what you're posting! Originally Posted by CuteOldGuy
