Stop enforcing treaties the Senate has not ratified

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, chapter 6, p. 175. Written by Kiron K. Skinner.

Stop enforcing treaties the Senate has not ratified

The document says “shouldWho acts: Secretary of StateHow: internal managementp. 175 in the PDF
What the document says

“order an immediate stand-down on enforcement of any treaties that have not been ratified by the Senate”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 175

The chapter says the department not only approves but enforces treaties the Senate has not ratified, and that the practice must be reviewed and most likely jettisoned. It asks that agreements which are really treaty commitments be identified with the Attorney General and White House Counsel, and that compliance be suspended pending transmittal to the Senate.

What the document actually says

“order an immediate stand-down on enforcement of any treaties that have not been ratified by the Senate”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 175
That sentence, in plain words

Stop enforcing any treaty the Senate has not approved. Do it now.

What this is about

A treaty is only binding once the Senate says yes. The book says some are being enforced anyway. It says that should stop right away.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to read this page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the book itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
