It's a fun parlor game to think up all the Senate-ratified treaties or international agreements that the US has torn up, withdrawn from, or outright ignored as if this were an iron-clad Congressional mandate for presidents to conduct foreign policy.
The UN Charter, which under Article II, expressly forbids use of force to undermine the sovereignty of governments (e.g. Iraq, Iran), was ratified by the US Senate. We've clearly shit-canned that.
The Open Skies Treaty and the 1955 Treaty of Amity with Iran (somehow lasted through the Reagan administration) were both treaties torn up by Trump. What else you got?
Brilliant article, thank you. One might think that Joe had gone off the reservation, as he clearly wants us to think, but it's a setup.

Moving the goalposts as to make a goal a practical impossibility....
