What is Nancy thinking? How dare she go against the Constitution and travel to Syria and Lebanon and try to disrupt the long-planned upcoming wars with those countries. She has even set us back in our attack on Iran. Thankfully, the Brits have helped us a bit with that Gulf of Tonkin maneuver.

What is next on Nancy’s agenda? A peace plan with the Middle East? Can Congress even do such a thing?

Will the democrats out-Rove Rove? If the Congress arranges for a peace treaty and more than 2/3rds of the Congress votes for it, does the President need to sign it for it to be ratified?

Has that every been done in US history? What freak gave Congress that much power?

This has the commie’s fingerprints all over it.

Good idea. Only for the forces of good, not evil.

I bet they'll hate that ... ... ... bwahahahaha...

Seriously, can Congress pass a Peace Treaty without Bush's sig?

Has that every happened in US History?

Does the law require a Presidential signature to sign a peace treaty?

Presidential Powers

It has not happened. Article II Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution gives the president the power "by and with the advice and consent of the Senate to make treaties, provided two-thirds of the Senators present concur." Article VI states that the Constitution and "the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land."

Interestingly, the SCOTUS ruled in 1936 that the power of negotiation is held by the president alone.
