Senator Johnson on In the Loop w/ Betty Liu

What we're saying is this is such an important deal, it really rises to the level of a treaty and treaties need to be ratified by the United States Senate. And we're just laying out the fact that If it doesn't get ratified by the Senate, if it doesn't get approved by Congress, it's not binding. I mean, the next president can just ignore it, and Congress really doesn't have to abide by it as well.
