May 22: The WHO plans to strip 194 nations, and the US, of sovereignty
The WHO is attempting to push through changes to a treaty that would give them global control over health worldwide. This helps fulfill some of the goals of the WEF’s Great Reset. It is a massive power grab that takes away a nation’s sovereign rights to determine its own health standards. Health...

From the article you referenced:
"Two-thirds of the Senate does not have to vote for it."
To be clear, 2/3 of the Senate does NOT have to vote for it for their rules to be changed. 2/3 of he Senate absolutely has to vote for it for those changes to have any application in law in the US. Just because the WHO says, "We changed our rules. You guys now have to do what we say" doesn't mean squat. They can change their rules all day. We haven't agreed to those new rules until the Senate ratifies the agreement. The president does NOT have the power to bind us to a treaty. Period. ESPECIALLY one that violate constitutionally guaranteed rights.
If we were bound by treaty rules changes other parties to a treaty decided to make, other nations could have changed the rules of any of the several hundred treaties we have had over our history to usurp a bit of US sovereignty. None of our sovereignty has ever been lost in our history because none of it means anything TO US until the Senate ratifies it. The founders designed it that way for exactly that reason.
Example: We have a treaty with Russia right now, to report to each other any UFOs we discover over the Artic (so the other side doesn't think it's a missile launch). If the Russians suddenly said, "Our Duma voted-on and changed the terms of the treaty so that President Putin is now in charge of your government"... do you think we'd surrender the country to Putin just because they "changed the rules of that treaty"? The ONLY treaties we are legally bound-by are treaties the Senate has ratified... and the only terms of ANY treaty that binds us are the specific terms the Senate has ratified.
Technically the president cannot even legally nullify or kill a treaty without Congressional approval... and there has been argument made in treaty case law in the Supreme Court that because treaties once ratified are the law of the land, they cannot be undone without FULL Congressional approval.... though certainly Senatorial approval would be required at a minimum. There were only twice in our history in hundreds of treaty terminations where the president nullified a treaty, and those were during WWI where the president was acting as the Commander in Chief during war, AND nobody in Congress objected. And that would mean no matter what Biden said or did,or what rules changes the WHO passed, the ONLY treaty still in effect between us and the WHO is the treaty that's there now. The who wants to break it, and say other rules apply... fine... but they have then broken the treaty and we have no further obligation under law with regard to it.
Tedros can change the terms of the treaty all day. He can change them fifty different times in fifty different ways. Bachmann is right. He doesn't need our Senate to do that. But let him try and enforce his changes. I'm really NOT at all worried about some blue-helmeted storm trooper enforcing Tedros' whims.
And Trump withdrew us from the WHO (Biden had us reinstated). We could simply withdraw from the WHO again if they tried to impose ANY obligation on us we were not fully willing to let them impose.
And by the way.... Biden could agree with Tedros, and even claim the revised treaty requires he enforce its terms. But the thing is.. Biden can agree with the WHO and enforce its terms now just by issuing an executive order. No treaty change is required for that. This "ordered by Tedros" BS just isn't going to fly, because the Senate will not have ratified it... and even if the Senate DID ratify it, no treaty our government negotiates can cause a violation of citizens' rights as guaranteed under the Constitution. The Supreme Court has ruled on that several different times in several different treaty cases. Because, contrary to what Biden apparently believes.... he's NOT a king. The people run this government, and the government simply doesn't have the authority to either take away OR GIVE AWAY citizens' rights.
Think about it for a second. I'm sure you'll agree Biden doesn't have the authority to take away your Constitutional rights just because he might want-to. If he did, he'd have taken your guns long ago. Well if he doesn't have the authority to take away your civil rights, he sure as Hell can't give them away. He cannot give away what he cannot take from you. And if/when he tries-to..... THAT is when you are going to see Jefferson's statement "the tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants" being realized.
