UN Law of the Sea Treaty revived

[Aliya]

WASHINGTON – In a move that has already angered some of his most ardent supporters, President Bush has asked the Democratic leadership in the U.S. Senate to revive a proposal for ratification of the United Nation's Law of the Sea Treaty, an international agreement defeated two years ago by Republican leadership in the upper house.

Critics say ratification would compromise U.S. sovereignty and place 70 percent of the Earth's surface under the control of the U.N. – even providing for a "tax" that would be paid directly to the international body by companies mining in the world's oceans.

Ah yes...more stellar reporting by WND...
The battle over the Law of the Sea Treaty first began 25 years ago, eventually being vetoed by President Reagan.
Presidents do not (and can not) veto a treaty. The president can chose to sign the treaty or not sign, and can chose to submit the treaty to the Senate for ratification or not.

But the President can never veto a treaty.
