Mark Warner: “Yes, into a treaty requiring the President, before any amendment or reinterpretation, to come back and seek the advice…”

On the recordDecember 13, 2001
Yes, into a treaty requiring the President, before any amendment or reinterpretation, to come back and seek the advice and consent of the Senate on his proposal. There we state very clearly. But so far as I know, I do not know of a requirement or a precedent which our President has broken, nor did he do anything that was not in accordance with the law and/or the terms of the treaty.
