President to Sign UN Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) Over Break - in Violation of the Expressed Will of the Senate....

The news headlines are telling us that President Obama will sign the UN ATT during the legislative break.  

There is just one minor problem:  the Senate has already disapproved the signing of this treaty.

The US Senate web site provides the following details regarding the ratification of treaties:

"The Senate does not ratify treaties—the Senate approves or rejects a resolution of ratification. If the resolution passes, then ratification takes place when the instruments of ratification are formally exchanged between the United States and the foreign power(s)," (US Senate and Treaties).

On March, 23, 2013, the same week the UN ATT was passed by the UN Security Council, the US Senate, in an early morning vote, voted 53-46 to reject a resolution to ratify the treaty.  The Senate has already expressed its will concerning this treaty; the president has no legal grounds to sign the UN ATT.  Once again, however, the president is going to unilaterally act in violation of our system of checks and balances.

One more impeachable offense on the part of the president.
