    Are you going to argue that the President of the United States does not have the power to sign treaties subject to ratification?" -- ondelette
    "If the President's signature means that our state is bound by a treaty in international law, then by our Constitution, the President is not allowed to sign a treaty w/o 2/3's of the senate concurring.
