I have an opinion on global warming!
"Denny" wrote in message ups.com... The current global warming pendulum is on a 15,000 year swing (and probably longer)... Mans production of CO2 since the industrial revolution has perhaps hastened the rate of warming... But, even without man on the planet the warming cycle would have occurred, the glaciers would have retreated, and we would be close to where we are now... At worst case we accellerated the rate of glacier retreat by a small amount... In the grand scheme of things this is not even a blip on the graph... So, in spite of AL G's hysterical wailings, global warming was not caused by man and man cannot stop it, control it, or even slow it... This warming cycle is mere foreplay leading up to the next cycle of glaciation... Lean back, relax, and enjoy it... We are just along for the ride... Tis better to live in a period of warming than to live in a period of glaciation... denny Well said! |

Which is exactly zero. Or maybe you missed that explination of the Constitution. |

You don't seem to understand how the House works. Look at the constitution. The executive branch is the only ones that have the authority to make international treaties. Representatives should not be out conducting foreign policy. Especially when it goes against the wishes of the branch that is charged with making international policy. -- Jim in NC |

The Constitution clearly states that the President is the only office that can make international treaties. |

The Constitution clearly states that the President is the only office that can make international treaties. Not only treaties, Article 2 sections 2 & 3 give the executive the power to appoint and to receive ambassadors and foreign ministers, which are the only official contacts we have with foreign governments. Though Presidents often give Congress Members ministerial assignments when they go abroad, it is a clear violation of the Constitution for members of Congress to speak for the United States with foreign leaders outside those assignments. For the leader of an opposing party to go abroad and negotiate with a foreign leader to undermine the effectiveness of our official policy by suggesting that they will get a better deal if they help the opposition look good before an election is sedition at the least, and perhaps, treason.

The three previous posters are correct (except for that overboard
remark about treason) , but the Constitution also gives the Congress the power to make laws, and to conduct investigations thereto. That includes laws relevant to our relations overseas. BTW, how come none of you were upset when Republican members of the House went overseas? vince norris |

That includes laws relevant to our relations overseas. Pelosi certainly violated the largely unused Logan Act. However, whether her actions rise to the level of treason would depend on what agreements she made. For example, if she were to promise (and I am making no allegation that she did) that a Democratic President would give Syria some reward if there were a large rise in violence just prior to the 2008 election, that would indeed be treason. We do not know what was said in private, or if it undermined US policy or military actions, but not having to consider such doubts is why we have restrictions in the Constitution on who makes official contacts with foreign governments. We need to speak with one voice to foreign governments. Don Virginia - the only State with a flag rated "R" for partial nudity and graphic violence. |

And I have no problem with the Speaker making the trip to conduct investigations. I do have a problem when she trys to run her own foreign policy unit. I saw a sound bite from an interview she did for NBC's Today show. It was on NBC Nightly News last night. And she all but said that she did it because she didn't like how GW was doing it. At least we know now why she wanted a bigger plane. Though to be honest I don't know if she used it for this trip. |
