The Charter of the United Nations is commonly assumed to be a treaty. It is not. Instead, the Charter of the United Nations is a constitution. As such, it is illegitimate, having created a supranational government, deriving its powers not from the consent of the governed (the people of the United States and peoples of other member nations) but from the consent of the peoples' government officials who have no authority to bind either the American people nor any other nation's people to any terms of the Charter of the United Nations. Even if the Charter of the United Nations were a properly-ratified treaty, it would still be constitutionally illegitimate and void because it transgressed the Constitution of the United States of America in three major respects: 1. It unconstitutionally delegates to the United Nations the U.S. Congress' legislative power to initiate war and the U.S. president's executive power to conduct war; 2. It unconstitutionally transfers to the United Nations General Assembly the United States House of Representatives' exclusive power to originate revenue-raising measures; and, 3. It unconstitutionally robs the 50 American states of powers reserved to them by the Tenth of Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America. H.R. 1146 - The American Sovereignty Restoration Act of 1999 is the only viable solution to the continued abuses of the United Nations. The U.S. Congress can remedy its earlier unconstitutional action of embracing the Charter of the United Nations by enacting H.R. 1146. The U.S. Congress, by passing H.R. 1146, and the U.S. president, by signing H.R. 1146, will heed the counsel of our first president, George Washington, when he advised his countrymen to "steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world," lest the nation's security and liberties be compromised by endless and overriding international commitments.

You have to believe the nation's economic prosperity was due to the w= ork of Clinton and not the Republican Congress (which actually wrote the budgets= ), and that the preceding 40 years of Democratic tax-and-spend policies had noth= ing to do with running up a $6 trillion national debt. 2. You have to believe that when you die, the government has not only th= e right, but the obligation, to take everything you worked hard for and giv= e it to someone other than your kids. 3. You have to be in favor of all government programs, but still pay lip service to supporting =93individual rights.=94 4. You have to believe that practicing high-risk sexual behavior has not= hing to do with transmitting AIDS or other STDs. 5. You also have to believe the government has the right and obligation = to regulate what people smoke and eat, but that insurance companies should n= ot be able to raise the premiums of people who engage in high-risk sexual pract= ices. 6. You also have to believe that people who smoke tobacco or eat red mea= t should suffer the consequences of their actions, but people who engage in= wanton or high-risk sex should not. 7. You have to believe that the mere presence of a gun makes an otherwis= e good person become a vicious murderer. 8. You also have to believe that disarming the victims will somehow redu= ce violent crime. 9. You have to believe...everything Clinton, Jesse Jackson and Ted Kenne= dy say. 10. You have to believe there is no cost to our country or its economy i= n allowing illegal immigration to continue unchecked. 11. You have to believe it is okay to kill an innocent unborn baby, even= in the last trimester via a =93partial birth abortion,=94 but oppose the death p= enalty for convicted murderers. 12. You have to believe it is not okay to deny a job to a person because= of his race if he is black or Hispanic, but it is okay to deny him a job because= of his race if he is white. 13.
