Veto-Proof?

They're forgetting about the ultimate veto. [More]

And the thing is, if A-rated establishment Republicans were anything more than the manipulative frauds that they are, they'd be screaming to the rooftops over this and using every legislative and judicial tool at their disposal. The truth is, it's not only not a priority, the establishment wants this, and faint protests are mostly for show.

If I had Trump's ear, I'd advise him to pledge rescinding this on Day One. It would really set him apart from the pack.

The president can't bind Congress to enact gun laws through an executive agreement. He needs them to either approve it as a treaty and then pass legislation through the normal process or just simply skip the agreement and pass legislation. This agreement would just bind Obama to take Executive actions that he supposedly has the power to take already.

I would demand Republican candidates renounce it, but am not worried that it can require anything worse than what Obama is already trying to do through executive actions.

The Senate has never ratified the treaty--- Kerry signing it is entirely on the administration, and a new administration would have power to reverse that action.
