This is driving me crazy. Will someone please explain to me how the President can Veto a Senate rejected Treaty/Agreement.
I heard Obama say he would veto a Senate rejection, and I have heard Senators talk about trying to get a Veto proof majority.
If I remember my Civics class correctly, the President only has three options, Sign, Veto, or Pigeon Hole. Only Congress can Ratify a Treaty, and this fits the Bill (pun intended)
If Congress does not Ratify this, like the Geneva Convention, does the President think that his veto would circumnavigate Congressional rejection.
In his mind isn't that like two negatives make a positive?
