The Senate needs to step in and tell him that this isn't going to work. Article II, Section II of the U.S. Constitution is pretty clear on this. He needs 2/3rd of the Senate to approve it. The Senate hasn't really done much to stop him to this point so I'm not sure why they'd start now.

You won't hear one word from the senate or congressional republicans.

Actually, I don't think it matters.  The president can declare the treaty approved, but it would be just like declaring himself king of the golf course.  It doesn't make it so.

The first time the government tries to enforce it, the defence attorney asks "which senate action approved the treaty" and the whole thing goes down in flames.  We should not need to go this route but we do because Dems elected a pompous ass for a president who doesn't understand the country he's running.

It does matter. It sets a precedence and a dangerous one at that.  Congress needs to do their job.

But by time it reaches the SC, Hillary will have already packed the court with her cronies.
